The Graduate School of International Cooperation Studies (GSICS) aims at contributing to development of the international community through cultivating capabilities of excellent students who are interested in pursuing careers in international fields.

Education and research activities at GSICS emphasize development of both expertise and multidisciplinary knowledge through coordination of its three departments: Economic Development and Policies, International Cooperation Policy Studies, and Regional Cooperation Policy Studies. GSICS has four education and research programs: International Studies, Development and Economics, International Law and Institution Building, and Political Science. They offer systematic educational programs for degrees in each respective field: Master of International Studies, Master of Economics, Master of Laws, Master of Political Science, Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Philosophy in Economics, Doctor of Laws, and Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science. GSICS believes that mutual understanding and respect for human rights is essential for peaceful global co-existence, and thus strives in our education, research and community activities to further this goal.
