What is GIS?

Students in the first year take English skills courses to read, present, and write academic essays and construct opinions logically in English. All classes are taught in English throughout the 4 years of the degree program, which allows students to attain an advanced level of English proficiency.

In years 1 and 2 students build a foundation in interdisciplinary education by completing a balanced number of courses from a diverse range of disciplines. In years 2 and 3 they focus on the fields they are interested in, complete comprehensive courses from a range of disciplines, and cultivate an interdisciplinary perspective that goes beyond the framework of existing fields. In years 3 and 4 they develop specialized knowledge in their chosen field of study through seminars and acquire the ability to apply basic knowledge to specific challenges.

GIS courses have small classes, which enables the low professor-student ratio. These small classes provide a platform for student participation, discussion, and presentation. This active learning stimulates and fosters their creativity and critical thinking.

Alongside the mandatory classes, students can dive into elective classes from five areas, allowing them to expand their perspectives from a well-balanced and wide range of academic areas.
