Master in Economics

Learning economics requires a habit of quantitatively grasping logical thinking and the actual state of the economy. In order to acquire this ability and custom, we will focus on basic subjects of economics that cultivate economic thinking and mathematical subjects such as mathematics and statistics, and then finance/finance, international trade, and economic development, Students will study specialized subjects to theoretically and empirically analyze urban issues such as housing and transportation, and economic issues facing modern society such as medical care, pensions, and environmental issues. You can analyze various social and economic phenomena from an economic point of view and acquire the ability to evaluate yourself. In a system of careful guidance to each student through small-group education, small-scale seminars (seminars) in line with the research themes of each faculty member are set as the core of education, and by taking courses using English. We aim to train international business people.

The worldwide spread of the new coronavirus infection is forcing changes in the way university education should be. In particular, the restriction of real overseas exchanges was a pain for Sophia University, which promotes globalization, but we provided support not only to international students in Japan but also overseas, centered on our overseas bases. In particular, the ASEAN Hub Center in Bangkok, which established a business company with the aim of further revitalizing educational functions from last year, is working to continue its business by introducing complete online classes.

The biggest change caused by the Corona disaster is the rapid progress of online access at universities around the world. As a result, we can expect unprecedented research exchanges, such as remotely inviting professors who conduct cutting-edge research at overseas universities. Our university is also working to establish such a possibility as a system.
