Research and exchange activities conducted at the Department of International Economy of the Faculty of Economics are focused primarily on the Southeast Asian region. Among these activities, we offer short-term and long-term overseas training programs in Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, and Cambodia, all of which are countries with strong ties to Japan and have been attracting attention due to the fact that many Japanese companies have established operations in these destinations. When going abroad, it is common to resort to using English as a communication tool even when it is not the native language of either party. Furthermore, it is necessary to know not only about the local economy, but also a about a wide range of topics, including politics, culture, and history. Through this program, students can acquire the ability to listen to the opinions of others communicated in English and to convey their own thoughts and opinions in English, while simultaneously learning about the realities of the local area through first-hand experience.
