The “Japanese and Foreign-related Law” program has been operating smoothly for three years since its establishment, and students are now approaching the thesis writing phase. How can they effectively integrate the two disciplinary focuses of Japanese language and foreign-related law in selecting research topics and composing their theses? What are the distinctive academic perspectives unique to this interdisciplinary program?
