Bachelor in Mathematics

We build our undergraduate program on a progression starting from the foundational material, ending at appreciating the depth of mathematical wisdom while emphasizing logical thinking as well as intuitive grasps of ideas on its course. The first two years of the program are spent on mastering the basic grammar of the subject, followed by various advanced courses in the third and fourth years, providing a smooth introduction to modern mathematics. Active learning is the key to each student's mastery of the scientific language, and we offer many problem sessions as well as seminars to encourage direct participation within the pedagogical environment. In particular, the culminating point for each student is the senior seminar where the year-long weekly seminar provides each student a valuable opportunity to immerse himself/herself in a specific topic aligned to the individual taste and to present the fruit of the study at the end-of-the-year presentation forum open to the public.

Gakushuin University comprises the five faculties of Law, Economics, Letters, Science and International Social Sciences, and their graduate and professional schools. The excellence of Gakushuin University lies in the community of 10,000 students and staff all assembled on the one campus. Most of our sporting facilities are also located on our Mejiro campus. This does not simply mean convenience for our students. Within this single campus, with its diverse blend of social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences sharing the same space, you will find a rich environment in which students studying a variety of disciplines and teaching staff conducting research in many different fields spend their days together. Our teaching staff offer lecture courses that transcend the boundaries of their faculties. They also design and offer lecture courses that are a fusion of disparate academic disciplines. Students are welcome to attend courses offered in departments and faculties other than their own. There is surely a benefit in discussing unsettling social problems with students and lecturers who are working in academic fields different from one's own.
