BA/BS in Humanities

The Faculty of Humanities at Fukuoka University brings together eight departments: Culture, History, Japanese Language and Literature, Education and Clinical Psychology, English, German, French, and East Asian Regional Languages. What links them is an interest in people, approached through many different disciplines. Small seminar classes are a central feature of the faculty. Taking part in them lets students deepen specialist knowledge while also learning to state their own views clearly and to listen carefully to others, skills the faculty presents as the foundation of communication ability. The four years of study are described as a period of free, self-directed learning. Students choose the department that best matches their interests and are encouraged to build the communication skills needed for working life after graduation.
