DOSHISHAUNIVERSITYfounded 1875

Doshisha University

Kyoto is known as a historic capital where there are

many cultural assets and world heritages, also famous

of its beautiful scenery and seasonal transitions.

Streetscapes feel as though we are back in time, and

yet the city is now one of the important centers for

industries of the latest technology and institutions with

outstanding academic research. Doshisha University

was founded in 1875 by Joseph Hardy Neesima,

who became one of the six great educators of the

Meiji era. He believed that it was important for his

students to learn diverse forms of self-realization.

Today, our students are encouraged to nurture a sense

of freedom, independence and conscience, in this

distinct city where innovation and tradition brings you

both excitement of the contemporary world, and the

quietness of ancient Japan.

Welcome to Kyoto Welcome to Doshisha

First of all, there is the fact that Doshisha University is located in Kyoto. Nearly 40 percent of all students in Japan go to universities in Tokyo and its surrounding area. A huge concentration of students live and study in and around our capital city. Of course, there are great advantages in going to a university in the metropolis. But we should not forget that most of the world's population does not reside in capital cities. It is also extremely important that intercultural exchange take place in areas outside our capital city as well as inside it. Above all, I firmly believe that there is a profound significance in being able to spend one's youth in Kyoto, a city where tradition has historically co-existed with a spirit of innovation.

Secondly, there is the fact that Doshisha University is a private, and therefore independent, university. The educational philosophy of Doshisha University's founding father, Joseph Hardy Neesima (Jo Niijima), continues to thrive on our campus. At a time when the Meiji government was trying, in its policy of wakon yosai, or “Japanese spirit with Western technology,” to adopt the technology and systems of the West for the sake of modernization without truly understanding and incorporating Western ways of thinking, Neesima argued for the vital importance of a civic society that supported Western technology and systems, and devoted himself to creating independent-minded, wise cit izens who could comprise that civic society – to educating people, as he termed it, who can “make decisions and take actions on the strength of their own conscience.” This emphasis by Neesima on the importance of developing a civic society is an example that surely many countries could still take to heart.

Thirdly, there is the fact that Doshisha has always made Christianity the basis of its education. We know that Christians have only ever comprised a mere 1 percent of the Japanese population, from the Meiji period up until today. On the other hand, the number of Christians worldwide has now reached 2.2 billion. To be able to look at social phenomena from a Christian perspective, and to have a basic understanding and knowledge of Christian teachings in Japan today, is both to know what it is to be a minority and thus appreciate the importance of tolerance, and also to know what it is to be part of a majority and to be linked with others in a global world. As if to prove this, on our campus, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Shinto, exist together in harmony.

It is the combination of these distinctive characteristics of Doshisha University – our location in Kyoto, the fact that we are a private university, and the Christian beliefs that lie at the heart of the education we offer here – that makes Doshisha a truly excellent and unique place to study. Underlying these characteristics are three qualities essential for a productive and engaged life in the globalized world of the 21st century: an appreciation of diversity, a spirit of tolerance, and respect for individual conscience. In Doshisha's traditions, there is something that is extremely modern that speaks to life in the modern world.

Doshisha has three characteristics that make it an exceptional university.

Koji Murata, Ph. D.PresidentDoshisha University

The Spirit of Doshisha University For the past 130 years, Doshisha University has been committed to the idea of “education of conscience,” or nurturing “those who use their abilities as conscience dictates.” University founder Joseph Hardy Neesima’s educational philosophy is encapsulated in the words engraved on the memorial monument at the main gate of Imadegawa and Kyotanabe campuses, which read, “I earnestly desire that many young people filled with conscience will be raised and sent out by our school.” Doshisha has indeed sent many promising graduates out into the world since its Neesima’s time. The spiritual pillars of our educational activities: “Christian principles,” “liberalism,” and “internationalism” reflect this background.

Doshisha College Song Words by W.M. Vories Music by Carl Wilhelm

138 years ago, Joseph Hardy Neesima broke new ground in Japanese education and sowed the seeds of liberal learning in people’s mind, which have been passed down over generations. Neesima’s vision formed the basis of Doshisha, and has always been present as Doshisha has evolved.

Joseph Hardy Neesima was born as a son of a samurai in 1843, and studied hard to become both a good warrior and a good scholar. Gradually gaining awareness about Western culture and Christianity, he had a serious concern about the future of Japan and realized the importance of studying in Western countries. Neesima left Japan for America in 1864, defying an overseas travel ban. Filled with anxiety and hope, he had begun his adventure. In Shanghai, he boarded a ship, the Wild Rover, bound for Boston.

Under the benevolent support of A. Hardy, the owner of the Wild Rover, Neesima received baptism and studied at Phillips Academy and Amherst College. As he learned advanced Western science and technology and blended into American life, he realized that there was a deep-rooted spiritual background of Christianity in America. He decided to become a minister himself, entering a seminary after graduating from college. The eight years of study at Christian educational institutions in America taught him the importance of conscience and liberty based on Christianity, which is to live according to the will of God and to exercise the freedom only within the realm of the conscience. Neesima returned to his homeland after ten years with a strong ambition to establish a Christian university as well as to spread Christianity.

One purpose, Doshisha, thy name

Doth signify one lofty aim;

To train thy sons in heart and hand

To live for God and Native Land.

Dear Alma Mater, sons of thine

Shall be as branches to the vine;

Tho’ through the world we wander far and wide,

Still in our hearts thy precepts shall abide!

We came to Doshisha to find

The broader culture of the mind;

We tarried here to learn anew

The value of a purpose true;

Dear Alma Mater, ours the part

To face the future staunch of heart,

Since thou hast taught us with high aim to stand

For God, for Doshisha, and Native Land!

When war clouds bring their dark alarms.

Ten thousand patriots rush to arms,

But we would through long years of peace

Our Country’s name and fame increase.

Dear Alma Mater, sons of thine

Will hold their lives a trust divine

Steadfast in purpose we will ever stand

For God, for Doshisha, and Native Land!

Emblem of Doshisha School Color of Doshisha

Upon returning to Japan, Neesima established Doshisha Eigakko (Academy) in 1875. He wished not only to nurture individuals with diverse skills and abilities but also to nurture those who would put their conscience into practice, by cultivating a decent character with strong morality and mentality. He believed that a real democratic society could be established by respecting each person’s individuality and at the same time a person must have conscience and liberty. In his last days, Neesima said, “Those who teach students must treat them respectfully.” His educational policy of respecting each individual student has been maintained at Doshisha over the years.Neesima died in 1890, at the age of 46, without fulfilling his ambition. However, his students and those who had the same ambition passed on his legacy and established Doshisha University in 1912.

In 2005, Doshisha celebrated the 130th anniversary of its founding. In order to realize Neesima’s words,

“Education takes 200 years to complete.”, we have been implementing ambitious reform programs, such as establishing new faculties and developing an advanced research system. However, our university is still on the road to achieving its mission. All faculty members and graduates, together with the students, are sharing an aspiration and making a collective effort to complete the university and to fully realize Neesima’s vision.

The emblem of Doshisha, which consists of three triangles, is a stylized Assyrian letter meaning a nation or a land. It was designed by Hangetsu Yuasa, a poet and a scholar of the Ancient Orient, whom Doshisha produced. Hangetsu was a professor of Theology at Doshisha University when the emblem was made. Since then, it has been interpreted as a symbol of Doshisha’s educational philosophy aiming at the harmony of three elements of education: intellectual, moral and physical educations.

Our school colors are purple and white.

The royal purple of Doshisha, which is a

medium color between Tyrian purple and

Edo purple, is the same school color as that

of Amherst College in America where the

founder, Joseph Hardy Neesima, studied.

The field of the school flag is royal purple

with the emblem in white.

When war clouds bring their dark alarms.

Ten thousand patriots rush to arms,

But we would through long years of peace

Our Country’s name and fame increase.

Dear Alma Mater, sons of thine

Will hold their lives a trust divine

Steadfast in purpose we will ever stand

For God, for Doshisha, and Native Land!

Still broader than our land of birth,

We’ve learnd the oneness of our Earth;

Still higher than self-love we find

The love and service of mankind.

Dear Alma Mater, sons of thine

Would strive to live the life divine;

That we may with increasing years have stood

For God, for Doshisha, and Brotherhood!

Since its foundation in 1875 the School of Theology has established itself as a pioneer in the field of Christian theology in Japan where the number of institutions that offer opportunities to study religions academically is limited. A thorough study of religions leads to a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of human beings and their society, culture, and history.Since 2003 the School of Theology has been vigorously promoting interdisciplinary studies of the three monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Followers in Judaism, Christianity, or Islam together make up 55 percent of the total population in the world. In order to understand the current situation of the world, it is essential to gain a clear knowledge of these Abrahamic religions. The School of Theology aims to play a role as "mediator" in achieving peace and mutual understanding

between the world's regions and civilizations.At the School of Theology the number of compulsory courses is reduced to a minimum so that the students can freely assemble their own curriculum depending on their concerns. The students can also improve their linguistic ability needed to study the three Semitic religions such as Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and Arabic.The School of Theology has fostered numerous "specialists in Christianity," including ministers, teachers, social workers and counselors working at hospitals and welfare facilities.

Society is ever-changing, but human nature isn’t. With the reasonable understanding of human nature, one can live confidently even if society changes unexpectedly. The Faculty of Letters appreciate language, literature, philosophy, history, art, and culture in order to explore the essence of human activities in variable situations.The Faculty of Letters consists of five departments: English, Philosophy, Aesthetics and Art Theory, Cultural History, and Japanese Literature. All the departments share the one educational purpose: to encourage students to seek the meaning and values of humanities by themselves. Each of the five departments, with its own well-established academic discipline, seeks the answers both in theory and practice to one common fundamental question—“What does it mean to be human now?”

The philosophy of Joseph Hardy Neesima, who said that every single person should be equally respected, is still alive in interactive classes at the Faculty of Letters. Small-sized seminars, which usually consist of ten to twenty students, generously offer opportunites to exchange ideas and opinions actively and promote mutual understandings among students and teachers.In addition to their major courses, students can attend classes of different departments by registering in the Minor Degree Program. The program is available to all the students of the Faculty of Letters who hope to expand their academic interests by opening the door to a new intellectual field that is to be cultivated by their own fresh discoveries.

Social Studies is concerned with how our everyday life is affected by our environment and the ties we create with it. The Faculty of Social Studies encourages students to pursue issues related to contemporary society and to foster an understanding of the processes that shape social networks, communities and institutions in an increasingly globalized world. Social Studies cover the whole range of human behaviour ranging from regional conflicts, labour alienation and unemployment to changing notions of the family, the aging society and the welfare state. The Faculty is broad-based and offers majors in five areas: Sociology; Social Welfare; Media, Journalism and Communications; Industrial Relations; Education and Culture. A course in Social Studies will enable students to use a broad range of analytical tools and to think critically about

contemporary social problems in a stimulating setting. We place emphasis on instruction in small groups and personal guidance by both Faculty members and student tutors. Both theoretical training and practical experience are creatively combined to create a holistic learning experience. Whether fieldwork, social surveys or quantitative analysis, our graduates will have acquired the skills to conduct successful inquiries into the nature of society from a humanistic point of view.

The goal of the Faculty of Law is to equip students with the ability to identify problems in various social spheres and provide adequate solutions based on the concept of the “legal mind” essential to solving problems with sound judgment and a sense of fairness. The Faculty’s education provides students with a broad-ranging and highly relevant qualification that will prove invaluable for professional careers in many different fields.The Faculty consists of the Department of Law and the Department of Political Science. The main characteristic of the curriculum of the Department of Law is the “step-up system,” in which students take introductory subjects, basic subjects, and advanced subjects, step by step. The advanced subjects cluster offers a choice of four models, enabling students to acquire specialized knowledge according to

their individual interests and career options.The curriculum of the Department of Political Science is also based on the “step-up system.” Students have a choice of three core-course advanced subject areas: International Relations, Modern Political Science, History and Thought. By choosing one of the three subject areas, students can assimilate advanced specialist knowledge in step with their own personal interests and with their future careers in mind.

Department of Economics envisions a learning community dedicated to empowering its students to improving economic competitiveness, advancing social justice, reducing poverty, celebrating creativity and artistic expression. These envisions are realized through the education which is facilitated to acquaint students with the economic aspects of modern society, to familiarize them with techniques for the analysis of contemporary economic problems and to develop in them an ability to exercise judgment in evaluating public policy. Strengths in the department include macroeconomics, micro-economics theory, econometrics, environmental economics, public economics, cultural economics, institutional economics, economic history, development economics, game theory, industrial organization, international trade and finance, labor economics. Main body of our

research is the application of frontier theoretical and quantitative tools to the analysis of important practical issues. The main educational vehicle which improves the logical and analytical ability of student is “Project oriented seminar”. In this subject, students collect materials, analyze data, build theoretical model, and discuss the issues in a small size group. Through the intensive education in a small size class, the interactive learning between the professors and students are stimulated effectively, and students are trained to achieve the purpose of the project. In addition, advanced level of IT skill can be mastered through the sophisticated IT curriculums.

http://www.econ.doshisha.ac.jp/english/

The Faculty of Commerce aims to produce graduates who have acquired: basic knowledge of industrial and economic issues and activities; the ability to analyze issues associated with enterprise and industry; and effective problem solving and decision-making skills. We seek to achieve these aims by providing systematic educational policy on our areas of expertise including commerce, finance, business administration, accounting, and economics. Students are to take foundational classes in basic subjects in their first year and advanced classes in core subjects starting in their second year. In the spring term of their third year, students can select two core-subject clusters from a choice of five, depending on their individual educational goals. From that point forward, they strive to improve their specialist knowledge through the organized study of a broad

variety of subjects (including subjects outside their chosen clusters) albeit with emphasis on their chosen clusters. In addition, new subjects with fresh content are introduced from time to time in response to changing trends and expectations. Special features of the faculty are: classes offering firsthand experience on the forefronts of the business scene; an emphasis on the ‘first-year experience’ that stimulates the desire to learn; support for students seeking careers as business professionals.

The Faculty of Policy Studies seeks to foster resourceful and ambitious students who are capable of resolving local as well as global issues. Such talents with diverse perspectives are in high demand throughout all domains of our society.Cross-disciplinary Studies in Social Science and Problem-Solving ExercisesOur program provides theoretical backbone and analytical practice through a wide range of lectures and classes, which consolidate economics, law, organizational theory, and politics and public administration. The students are expected to broaden their perspectives starting from introductory courses to further specialized subjects. Our small-scale classes, starting in the first year, provide opportunity to practice debates and problem-solving exercises,

thereby focusing on some social issues.To Be an Intelligent Decision-maker in Private and Public SectorsIt is the skills they can develop throughout our program – providing solutions to problems with balanced points of view – that help students play a leading role in such areas as business, journalism, NPO/NGOs, politics and public administration. The Faculty of Policy Studies will be the perfect choice for those who are willing to expand their fields of interests, acquire practical skills in analyzing social issues, and contribute to solving various problems in our society.

http://www.doshisha.ac.jp/english/faculties/undergraduate/policy_studies/

The Faculty of Culture and Information Science aims at fostering specialists who can comprehend and analyze the increasingly complicated human beings and their world with scientific research methods. We welcome young talents from all over the world who share with us our academic discipline: in-depth understanding of various cultures, logical and critical thinking, and such scientific skills and abilities as statistics-oriented analyzing methods and computer sciences. We provide lectures from four different academic fields, namely, culture, linguistics, human behavior, and human society. At the same time, students are asked to acquire the knowledge and the skills in the fields of mathematics, statistics, and computer science. With these skills and newly developed interests in various aspects of culture, students participate in our “Joint Research” program in

their third academic year and practice their research methods and skills before they engage in the graduation researches in their final academic year. We are proud of generating highly-skilled talent with wide cultural knowledge who will lead the advancement of the globalized world in the spheres of academics, media, business, IT industry among others.

With a good knowledge of strategies acquired in the Faculty of Global Communications, graduates are expected to become successful negotiators and administrators in organizations involved in international business, education and culture. Choosing from one of the three programs of study: English, Chinese or Japanese, students will learn complex language skills which are critical for international success. Moreover, they will gain an awareness of how to adapt, and succeed in the many aspects of the rapidly-changing world. All the students of the English and Chinese Courses will participate in a one-year Study Abroad program. Through this experience, students will gain an in-depth understanding of foreign cultures, and increase their chances to contribute to the global society in a meaningful way. Our Japanese degree course aims at providing students from abroad with a

deep grasp of Japanese culture. Moreover, students will be able to navigate not only the academic world for further study but also the business world for a successful career. Through the Seminar on Japanese Society, and through a program of cultural-immersion experiences, communication skills will be honed and cultural understanding will be broadened. The culmination of the 4-year program in Global Communications is the Seminar Project. Students will take the initiative in proposing, planning, and administering original projects such as an international conference or a major cultural event. Through the management of such a project, students will “learn by doing” which is the best preparation for working in the global environment.

http://globalcommunications.doshisha.ac.jp/english/

In recent years in the media, the phrase “it is necessary to think from a global perspective” has come to inform our experience. Most global problems arise from regional problems such as conflicts between cultures, races, or economies. Consequently, in order that we accurately grasp global problems, it is indispensable that we deeply understand the issues and cultures concerning local regions.The “Faculty of Global and Regional Studies” is concerned with the interdisciplinary intellectual foundation of local cultures, histories, and societies. From a global perspective, it carries out research on a variety of problems confronting contemporary society. The students of the faculty, belonging to one of the three courses, Europe, Asia-Pacific, or Americas, make use of the various languages used in these regions, analyze problems by themselves, and think about

ways to resolve them. While these three regional divisions have their own distinctive characteristics in the formation of their cultures and societies, they continue to exert influence on one another in their development. Through four years of study and research from a global perspective, students acquire the ability to be active within the international community.

The Graduate School of Theology occupies a unique and important place as a center for religious studies in Japan where the number of institutions that offer opportunities to study religions academically is limited. The Graduate School of Theology provides programs of study leading to the degrees of Master of Theology and Doctor of Theology. The M. Th. Program is divided into five major courses of study: Biblical Theology, Historical Theology, Systematic Theology, Practical Theology, and Interdisciplinary Study of Monotheistic Religions.The Biblical Theology Course aims to understand and interpret the Bible by analyzing the texts in their social and cultural settings. The Historical Theology Course is concerned with the historical development of diverse Christian beliefs, practices, and communities.

The Systematic Theology Course deals both with clear understanding of various religious thoughts and with their meaning for and relevance to the problems with which our society is faced. The Practical Theology Course enables students to prepare theoretically and practically for such careers as ministry, education, and social work. The Interdisciplinary Study of Monotheistic Religions Course undertakes interdisciplinary and comprehensive research on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and their civilizations in the search for co-existence among diverse religious traditions.

The Graduate School of Letters asks one single question: what does it mean to be human now? This question is traditional because it has been asked again and again by innumerable people in long human history in and outside Japan. It is also new, however, now that human conditions are being changed so dramatically that we have to interrogate all the traditionally accepted answers in order to find a better one for each of inhabitants in global society. The Graduate School of Letters is always aware of the need of constant dialogues between tradition and innovation or localism and globalism.The Graduate School of Letters consists of five majors: Philosophy, English Literature and English Linguistics, Cultural History, Japanese Literature, and Aesthetics and Art Theory. Each major has Master’s and Doctoral degree programs. Students of the Master’s degree program

expand their understanding of the academic requirements of their special fields while Doctoral candidates aim to acquire highly advanced knowledge to pursue researches on their own. Our graduate program, placing an emphasis on international cooperation with foreign universities and researchers strives to cultivate talented individuals who can lead the next generation with their insightful understanding of language and culture that are generated from the constant interactions between tradition and innovation or localism and globalism. Behind varieties of our ever-changing academic activities at the Graduate School of Letters lies the same question: what does it mean to be human now?

Globalization and information literacy, regional conflicts and terrorism, labour alienation and unemployment, low birth-rate, the aging population and the changing family system, changes in education and personality development for the next generation... these changes in society have a fundamental influence on human beings and their way of life. Social Studies, at the graduate level, attempts to comprehensively investigate these social changes and to systematically understand the restructuring of the complex framework of society. The ultimate goal for the students is to acquire methodological skills for examining issues from a professional as well as an humanistic perspective in areas such as: relationships between individuals and society; welfare problems; interpersonal relationship in the work environment; cultural and educational issues

in personality development; mass media as a reflection of society.With the five majors of Social Welfare, Media Studies, Education, Sociology and Industrial Relations, the Graduate School of Social Studies serves as the University headquarters for humanistic studies of social sciences. Graduates of the school are expected to be competent in utilising rigorous methodology in order to comprehensively investigate the nature of various social changes in their field of expertise. Our graduates are, thus, able to play a leading role in society with their highly specialized knowledge and international perspective.

Our brains underlie the uniqueness of human beings. Understanding how the brain works is therefore one of the most important problems in the science of nature and the mind. The outcomes of brain science research will also provide insight into how we treat/prevent neurological and mental disorders, and ultimately how we educate our children. In this regard, research in brain development and aging is significant not only to academia but also to our entire society. We therefore perceive the urgency of fostering young scientists who can lead and push this research field forward.Our program faculty consists of internationally renowned scientists in molecular, cellular, systems, and pathological neuroscience. Their research interests include neural development and differentiation, protein trafficking, synaptic physiology, neural circuits, ion channels,

and Alzheimer’s disease. The five-year training program revolves around these excellent research programs to foster next-generation scientists.To achieve this goal, we encourage students to develop their abilities in critical thinking, problem and goal setting, and professional communication in addition to scientific knowledge and research techniques. We believe that acquiring these merits will help them excel and become true leaders not only in brain research but also in any areas of problem solving.

Japan has embarked on a new approach to legal education, designed to create a new generation of lawyers in sufficient numbers to serve the needs of modern society.To help realize the goals of this reform, Doshisha Law School was opened in April 2004. It is a special type of graduate professional school. Distinct from Doshisha’s Faculty of Law, it is designed specifically to train future judges, prosecutors, lawyers and other legal professionals. It offers a curriculum strong in the basic subjects essential to success on the new bar exam and rich in elective courses that will enable students to develop a high degree of specialized knowledge. While Japanese law is the focus of a majority of the courses, students are also required to learn about international law or foreign and comparative law. The curriculum is intensive

and rigorous, featuring lectures, small group seminars and active participation by students in classroom discussions. The teaching staff includes renowned scholars as well as persons with experience as judges, prosecutors, lawyers, and professors who have taught in foreign law schools and practised as foreign lawyers. For the 2013 academic year, 40 students were newly admitted to the law school. Of these, 32 students who demonstrated an adequate undergraduate-level knowledge of law entered a two year program, with another 8 being admitted to a three year program that assumes no knowledge of law at all, and is intended to make the legal profession accessible to people from a wide variety of backgrounds. http://www.doshisha.ac.jp/english/faculties/professional/law.html

Doshisha Business School (DBS) opened in 2004 following a long tradition of successful Kyoto based global corporations including Omron, Kyocera, Nintendo and Shimadzu. We offer a Japanese MBA and a Global MBA programme. Launched in 2009, the Global MBA offers a high quality, internationally focused programme delivered in English. With these two programmes, DBS is at the forefront of globalization offering the knowledge and experience indispensable for conscientious business leaders of the 21st century.Located in the cultural heartland of Japan, the people of Kyoto have a long history of rich artistic, architectural, culinary and literary traditions living in harmony with beautiful natural surroundings. Over the years, Kyoto-based global corporations have harnessed the best of Japanese tradition with state-of-the-art technology in harmony with

nature to bring out the distinctiveness of Kyoto success.DBS offers students the opportunity to engage with executive managers of these Kyoto-based global corporations along with high profile academics of Doshisha and top overseas business schools including Cambridge, Oxford, Berkeley, and Xi’an Jiaotong. This innovative combination of theory and practice makes DBS the ideal location to expand the horizons of sustainable development and cross-cultural management at the gateway of Asia.DBS invites you to experience the future of global business management in Kyoto.

National Health InsuranceThe National Health Insurance System in Japan is an insurance system to reduce individuals’ medical costs. All international students residing in Japan for 3 months or longer are required to enroll in the program. Formalities are carried out at students' local municipal office’s National Health Insurance Section. After enrollment, students will pay premiums. International students will receive a discount on the fee if their income is less than a certain amount. Upon joining the National Health Insurance System they will be issued a National Health Insurance Certificate. If they show this at the reception desk when they receive medical treatment, they will need to pay only 30% of the incurred medical costs. In the case of major medical expenses incurred as a result of hospitalization etc., Students may be eligible for a refund from National Health Insurance to cover the excess amount as a Major Medical Expense.

Student Health CentersStudent Health Centers are located on both the Imadegawa and Kyotanabe campuses to help maintain the physical and mental health of the students and to provide them with support. They offer such services as annual physical checkups in April, health maintenance in the form of detailed tests and illness management, health consultations, mental health counseling, and internal medical examinations.

Student CounselingCounselors work with the students to maximize their individual abil it ies to resolve problems, including concerns about interpersonal relationships on campus, personality problems, psychological problems, future career options, and school work.

Support for Students with DisabilityThe university is committed to assisting students with disability and the support staff in developing self-reliance and awareness,

and to sharing the results achieved in the process with the community. We are always seeking support staff. After their training period, staff members engage in such activities as note-taking, PC interpretation, wheelchair assistance, writing assistance, and escorting.

Support for Extracurricular ActivitiesThere are about 170 officially recognized groups and 240 groups registered at Doshisha’s Student Support Services Center.

EU Information CenterThe EU Information Center (EU i), designated by the European Commission as an information center dedicated to EU-related documents, has been established in about 500 universities all over the world. The EU i at Doshisha University, established in 1976, was the third one opened in Japan. The EU i provides official EU documents and publications sent from the Publications Office of the European Union. The documents are widely available to anyone. This is the case because the role of the EU i is not only to provide assistance to scholars and students at universities studying about the EU, but also to promote better understanding of the EU to the general public. At Doshisha University, the EU i undertakes activities such as open lectures, symposiums, and panel exhibitions at its annual EU-Japan Friendship Week, as part of its efforts to stimulate mutual understanding of each other’s society and culture.

Doshisha University offers many opportunities for International students and Japanese Students to exchange and share their culture. We have “International Day” regularly which is planned and run by volunteer staff of both International and Japanese students. We inform about the event on the bulletin board of the Office of International Students or the website (http://www.doshisha.ac.jp/international/communication/event.html) and the Facebook page of International Center.

International Cultural Exchange Event

Libraryhttp://doshisha.ac.jp/library/english/The Imadegawa Library houses approximately 661,000 books, representing a collection that was started when Doshisha was founded, and the Learned Memorial Library has about 263,000 books, consisting primarily of basic educational materials. Students are also able to make use of nearly 1.6 million documents belonging to various faculty laboratories and research centers. The materials housed in the libraries are not limited to printed matter. Both the Imadegawa Library and the Learned Memorial Library have extensive multimedia libraries, enabling students to have access more than 6,000 videos, audio disks and tapes, and DVDs. Students can also view overseas TV news broadcasts, Students can access a wide range of electronic resources on the Doshisha University Library website, such as the online library catalog “DOORS,” e-journals, the Academic Repository, and databases. These resources can be used for online searches through dictionaries, encyclopedias, newspaper and magazine articles, court precedents, information about people, and the like. The personal computer corners are full of students using all available reference materials and resources to write papers or prepare presentations.The Reference Counter at each library provides consultation regarding how to use the library, search for reference materials, and related issues. In addition, it offers advice on methods for collecting documents pertaining to the research themes of individuals. If the necessary reference materials are not available at Doshisha, assistance will be provided in requesting them from other universities in Japan or abroad. Furthermore, special workshops are held on various practical subjects, such as methods for collecting documents using “DOORS” or databases. Through a broad spectrum of services aimed at supporting studies, the libraries strive to provide an environment where each and every student can constructively focus on studying.

OUTBOUND PROGRAMSDoshisha University aims to cultivate people who would be

regarded as “the nation’s conscience” with the educational

ideals of Christian principles, Internationalism and Liberalism.

“Internationalism” at Doshisha is not only about being able to

speak foreign languages; our goal is for the students to pursue

their study with an international perspective. We encourage them

to be open to different values, exposed to diverse cultures in

the world and learn to accept each other’s differences, following

the spirit of our founder Joseph Hardy Neesima who defied the

overseas travel ban to study in America and later established

Doshisha based on the knowledge and experience that he

gained there. Doshisha University currently offers study abroad

programs of short, medium and long terms. Short-term programs

are Summer Programs and Spring Programs, in which students

participate in intensive language training overseas during a long

vacation. Medium-term programs are Semester Programs, which

are intensive English programs held at overseas institutions for

approximately four months. Through these programs, students

can improve their English skills to the level they can apply for the

long-term student exchange for either half year or one year.

We also provide students with opportunities to study together with

international students, in the classes offered in collaboration with

foreign universities and organization that have study centers on

Doshisha campus. In addition, extracurricular TOEFL preparation

classes are also available to support those who aim to study in an

English speaking country.

Summer and Spring ProgramsDoshisha University offers intensive overseas language programs,

during summer in England, U.S., Canada, Ireland, Australia,

Germany, France, China, Mexico, Russia and Korea, and during

spring in New Zealand, Australia, U.S., Germany, France, China

and Spain. These programs are electives, available as part of

the regular undergraduate programs. With study in the respective

countries taking place during the summer or spring vacation, each

of them includes preparatory classes at Doshisha in the semester

preceding each program.

Summer and Spring Programs are designed to develop the

students’ language skills to an advanced level in conjunction

with other foreign language subjects, as well as to deepen the

students’ understanding of the culture and society of the country

they visit through everyday-life experiences, staying either on

homestay or in a dormitory together with TA students of the host

university.

Semester ProgramsSemester Programs are intensive English language program

held in the Fall semester at overseas institutions. Spending

approximately four months at University of Winnipeg in Canada,

Deakin University in Australia or University of Hawai’i at Ma-noa

in the U.S., participating students will improve their English skills

as well as have a better understanding of the culture and society

of the respective countries. In addition to the language courses,

homestay experience gives the students an opportunity to feel the

cultural difference at first hand, which will further increase their

interest in foreign cultures.

Student Exchange Programs Through Student Exchange Program, Doshisha students are

currently able to study at 135 partner institutions in 32 countries

and regions all over the world for either one academic year or one

semester. Every year, many highly motivated students participate

in this program and gain invaluable experience and a broader

international perspective. With growing popularity, both the

numbers of exchange places and actual participants have been

and continue to be increasing over recent years.

established on the Imadegawa Campus in October 1993 as the

first German university-affiliated institute in Japan. The Stanford

Japan Center was established in Kyoto by Stanford University in

1990, and was relocated to Doshisha in 2006. The University

of Sheffield Doshisha Centre (USDC) was officially launched

in January 2009 as the first institution affiliated with a British

university, and as the fourth foreign institution on our campus.

Science and Engineering Research InstituteThe study of science and engineering at Doshisha has a long

tradition with origins traceable back to the “Harris Science School”.

Joseph Hardy Neesima, who studied natural science at Amherst

College, founded the school in 1890, believing that the promotion of

science and engineering was necessary for Japan’s modernization.

Building on this tradition, the Research Institute was established in

1959 to promote studies of basic science and engineering and its

application, including mathematics, physics, astronomy, medical

science, earth science, history of science and creative engineering.

The main areas of research recently have been in the fields of

environmental, biomedical, and mathematical studies. The research

findings are published in the Institute’s own bulletin which is widely

distributed in Japan and abroad.

Institute for the Study of Humanities and Social SciencesThe institute was founded in 1944 for the purpose of promoting

theoretical, historical and applied studies in the fields of humanities

and social sciences, and of contributing to academic research in

Japan.

The institute’s main functions are the following;

1) Developing interdisciplinary research programs

2) Publishing ongoing research projects in periodicals and books

3) Arranging public lectures and symposiums

4) Collecting and arranging various research materials related to

the humanities and social sciences, and making them available to

faculty, students, and the general public.

International Institute of American StudiesGrowing out of the internationally renowned Kyoto American

Studies summer seminars (1951-1987), the International Institute of

American Studies (IIAS) was established in 1958 and has been one

of Japan's most important research institutes for scholars studying

the United States. The IIAS devotes its energy to collecting books

and research materials that augment its significant library holdings.

Additionally, the IIAS organizes research projects, supports the

public lecture semi-annually, and shares research results through

annual publications.

Not confining its work to Japan, the IIAS has helped to establish a

global network of American Studies scholars who regularly lend their

expertise through lectures and seminars. Any scholar or student in

Japan may use rich resources in the IIAS.

Doshisha University Historical MuseumDoshisha University Historical Museum was established in February

1996 for the purpose of collecting and researching artifacts and

documents in archaeology, history, folklore, history of industry and

technology and other related fields; and for conducting scientific field

survey on the campus site and other properties of the university;

and through these activities, advancing education and academic

research of Doshisha University.

Doshisha Archives CenterDoshisha Archives Center collects, preserves and utilizes historical

documents and materials related to the Doshisha and its founder

Joseph Hardy Neesima to pass down Doshisha’s history and

tradition to future generations. It also holds exhibitions about the

history of the Doshisha with the aim of acquainting our students,

staff and the public with the fundamental spirit of our university.
