Study : Outline of Graduate Schools

The disciplines available in the Seikei University Graduate Schools vary from research with high social or cultural value to research in the most-advanced fields. Each Graduate School also strives to enhance its facilities and equipment, including study rooms exclusively for graduate students, to allow students to conduct in-depth research in their fields. Research results produced through research conducted on a person-to-person basis between students and instructors have been receiving attention and are highly regarded by society.

Graduate School of Economics and Management

The Graduate School of Economics and Management consists of a "Researcher Training Course," which prepares graduate students to be specialized researchers in the field of economics or management, and the "Economics and Management Course," designed to train top-notch professionals. The Economics and Management Course is in turn divided into a two-year "General Program," targeting students aspiring to become international business persons, researchers or civil servants, and the "Advanced Tax Practice Program," which is designed for students aspiring to become accounting specialists or tax accountants. In the Advanced Tax Practice Program, students get thorough guidance in writing theses concerning tax laws through seminars in small groups. In addition, depending on the needs of the candidates, the two-year "General Program" may be completed in four years in a "Long-Term Program", or in just one year in a "Program for Working Adults," which is aimed at people with work experience. The variety of programs and thorough guidance effectively support students in realizing their professional and academic dreams.

Graduate School of Law and Political Science
