グローバルリーダーに必要な5つの力　＃04 国際的実践力

You can easily imagine that learning with the word “international” is conducted in English, but the essence is not simply a place to teach English. It is true that the language training curriculum we provide is substantial, but English is just one tool. The main purpose is to communicate with others, and that is the reason why we place importance on international workshops. In other words, I think that "international practical ability" can be rephrased as the ability to create something together with international colleagues.

One thing to keep in mind at this time is that unless you have a high level of expertise, it will be difficult to sit at the discussion table on the world stage. Only after becoming a researcher in the doctoral course with the technical knowledge gained in the master's course plus the power of alpha can you be able to participate in international discussions. If you develop your own strength, the world you can see will expand further, and the fun of creating something useful for the world will double. I would like everyone to experience the fun of crossing each other's specials with friends from around the world.
