The medical field in Japan is based on a solid financial foundation with a good balance between the individual and the public, always incorporating the latest technology, providing the best treatment environment for the individual benefit, and realizing the public benefit of the world's longest life expectancy, which is attracting attention from the world.
In medicine, clinicians are working day and night to provide the best treatment environment, which is a personal benefit (value), and continue to provide hope for the future by fully utilizing their innovative thinking. However, clinicians always need to understand what the future holds for the patients before them exactly, which leads to choosing between SOL (Sanctity of Life) and QOL (Quality of Life).
In this class, we will continue to discuss the ideal future as the primary theme for all sessions, and each student will be able to draw a clear image of the future. Then based on this image, we will search for issues that society is currently facing and construct a plan to create the ideal future by solving them.
Through this process, students will be asked to make concrete proposals based on their observations of the natural world, using several social projects related to life, health, and medical care as reference cases to acquire the skills necessary for problem-solving.

Laws, such as laws, contracts, and precedents, are important infrastructures or operating systems of society, and have a great impact on industry and culture. In this course, you will learn how to interpret and design laws and regulations in order to promote industry and culture. In this lecture, we will explore how laws, contracts, and precedents have influenced industries and cultures in Japan and other countries, and how they can contribute in the future, through various case studies. In particular, by leveraging the concept of "legal design" advocated by the lecturer, we will analyze and examine existing businesses, services, expressions, etc. from a legal perspective in order to discover new perspectives on existing business management, industrial and cultural policies, etc. The goal of this program is to develop human resources with such a perspective and to nourish the perspective of updating Japan's policies and management through "legal design" of policies and management.
The objective of this course is to give students an introduction to critical legal thinking by studying the nature of “law” and providing an overview of “legal reasoning”. The topics will address many different issues and debates but we will focus particularly on the following questions:
What is the role of law in our society?
How does law justify itself?
How does law relate to ethics and morality?
What happens when opposing rights conflict with each other?
What defines power in a juridical system?
What are the strength and weaknesses of democracy?
Environmental problems are caused by the interaction between natural and human systems. We need scientific knowledge of both systems to understand and solve the problems. This course examines techniques for measuring and analyzing various aspects of nature and humans in the context of "desertification," one of the major global environmental problems, and "protected areas," which are at the forefront of nature conservation activities around the world. After learning various measurement techniques through lectures and hands-on practice, students will consider what can be achieved by combining multiple measurement techniques and what further techniques are needed in the future in a workshop.
In this class, in the first half of the class, you will learn both "thinking technique" and "collaborating technique" based on some issues (future themes). From the middle of the class to the latter half of the class, we will take on the challenge of developing and implementing future product development and building a sustainable business model with Fujiyoshida City in Yamanashi Prefecture in mind.
Interviews and dialogues in magazines and newspapers do not actually translate what you are talking about. There is a lot of "processing (editing)" done there. Each of them is packed with the idea of making the articles of editors, reporters, and writers more interesting and the technology to make the sentences "more readable". In this class, you will learn how to write "sentences that people will read" through actual editing work. From blogs to novels, we aim to inspire people who want to improve their writing. Keep an editor in yourself. That will dramatically improve your original writing. That is the purpose of the lesson.

The purpose of this course is to acquire basic knowledge and skills in Japanese "science writing". Specifically, reading and interpreting information on science and technology, which is the conduct of humankind, and describing it in a simpler way.
The 20th century was called “the century of science”. Remarkable advances in science and technology have contributed to making human life richer and more comfortable. The following 21st century is sometimes called the “century of life science” due to the rapid progress in the elucidation of life phenomena along with genome decoding.
Our lives are influenced by the benefits of science and technology, but their knowledge has increased dramatically and their specialization has made it difficult for non-experts to understand. Consequently, “Science writing” is becoming increasingly important.
Scientific Writing Workshop teaches how to state facts, communicate your opinions and share your thoughts with others. The methods and techniques covered in this workshop are common among scientific and technical papers as to the kata (forms). Students are taught how to write scientific and technical papers and how those papers are evaluated.
You can be a Humanities student or a Sciences student to take this workshop. It is more difficult to write Humanities papers. Learning how to write scientific and technical papers first as a basic skill is therefore highly recommended.
The first half of this workshop covers what is taught in elementary schools in the Western world. The skills you will learn will prove to be very important in the future when you become a global leader dealing with Westerners who were taught the skills in school.
