With the increasing sophistication of today’s society, there is a high demand for human resources with advanced knowledge. Not only universities and other research institutions, but also an increasing number of international organizations are looking for people who have doctoral degrees in relevant fields.
Doctoral students in the Graduate School of International Relations will be assigned two academic advisors who will guide them from developing appropriate research to completing a final dissertation. Doctoral students are also required to do at least two oral presentations at the faculty seminars every year so that they can get feedback from other faculty members on their ongoing research projects. They are also encouraged to publish at least one article every year. The Graduate School of International Relations provides general support in research and career planning for students pursing a doctoral degree.
