From May 21 to 23, Ritsumeikan University's Graduate School of International Relations held the Oral Presentation of Thesis Proposal (1st year Master's students: 2nd semester) and the Interim Oral Presentation (2nd+ year Master's students: 4th semester). Faculty and graduate students join together to comment on and exchange various opinions regarding the students' research ideas. Through this, students can reconfirm their research goals and develop new ideas and concepts. This semester, 31 students presented their research topics. The oral presentations were a great success with many graduate students in attendance.
