Law and Political Science

Overview

About Law and Political Science at Nagoya University

Students in the Master of Comparative Law and Politics at Nagoya University may also include units taught at the neighboring Graduate School of International Development toward the 30 units required toward the degree. 

Courses outside the program but within the scope of the candidate’s research interests may also be approved, depending on educational and research requirements. In addition to the coursework requirement, students on the Masters program are required to complete a thesis under the supervision of a member of academic staff. Refl ecting on the considerable emphasis that is placed upon this extended piece of work, a mandatory semester course on the writing process is followed by two optional semester-length courses that draw upon and support the later phases of student research and writing up.

We are proud to count among our graduates staff of:

• core ministries

• counsel in major corporations

• active lawyers

• progressive academics of the jurisdictions that have enriched our environment through participation in our programs.
