As a student from international studies (politics and economics) background, the MGPE program presents me good opportunities to understand current issues related to the international political economy. As compared with universities in Japan, assignments are heavy that I have supposed to be before enrolling in this program. Catching up with classes is sometimes busy and challenging work but with the help of and the precise explanation by the professors, I could finish the classes and gain knowledge from them. When finishing this program, I think I will have more confidence in myself.
