The Urban Life Studies Course provides research guidance and classes that help students become motivated and to acquire the knowledge, skills, and way of thinking to handle newly emerging situations. From the first year, students have many and various opportunities for presentations and a poster session in English, an interim presentation of the master’s thesis, and the final presentation of the thesis. These occasions help students acquire skills to convey their knowledge to the society.
