Would you like to join the Open Seminar of Research Project?

Graduate School of Policy Science (GSPS) offers a class called "Research Project" as a core aspect of our research guidance. The class consists of faculty members from different fields of academic research as well as graduate students who are organized into research teams.

The Open Seminar of the “Research Project” of GSPS will be held for two weeks in mid-November during Graduate School Week at Ritsumeikan University. It will provide a great opportunity to experience what the research guidance of the Graduate School is like as it will be conducted in the same way as a normal class on campus would be held. We hope that you will join us!
