| Course description |
|
In Global Advanced Science, students learn in vivid detail about internationally competitive, cutting-edge research from internationally active distinguished researcher, and about how research develops through scientist network and collaborations across the world. The lectures also include examples of how basic studies are fundamental to and applied to the cutting-edge research, and of the research environment in the globalized society. Through such experience, students are encouraged to consider the values of their studies and research in a broad context and towards their own future. This course will aid students to elevate their global awareness and improve their English communication skills in practice. This lecture course is included in Global Integrated Studies of the Liberal Arts and Fundamental Studies, and offers students opportunities to apply and integrate their knowledge and skills obtained in the foundation courses during their first two years in the university. |
