The courses in the doctoral program are designed to advance doctoral research in a particular manner. In the “Basic Research Courses”, students will develop the ability to independently carry out research activities using their own expertise, while aiming to acquire research methods for high-quality media expression. In the “Project Research Courses”, students, regardless of their own research area, will actively engage with people who specialize in a variety of fields, and conduct research across many disciplines. Through these kinds of exchanges, students are able to gain and apply new knowledge and further develop the ability to carry out projects from planning to implementation. In the “Special Research Courses”, students will disseminate the results of research on media expression to society and summarize the results in a thesis while maintaining a strong sense of responsibility and reason.
