Frequently Asked Questions
- What is special about “Global Studies” at FGS?
It is a new field of study that aims at comprehending the globalized world. At FGS we tackle the topic of global studies from dual perspectives, namely the globally oriented perspective of International Relations, and the locally oriented focus of Area Studies. Sophia University has long been known for its academic tradition and achievements in both fields, and these two fields have now come together in FGS. Today, when much of the local phenomena we encounter daily is linked to the global as well, we need to develop the ability to view issues from both standpoints. Through the integration of these two fields FGS is opening up new horizons in education.
