Learning Points

POINT1

Understanding media through content creation

It is easy to simply praise or criticize media messages, but if you want to learn sociologically, it is necessary to understand the mechanisms and the actual information dissemination sites. Putting yourself in the creator's shoes helps you understand the media.

POINT 2

Think for yourself and act, emphasizing the balance between thought and practice

Students will study media theory and research methods, and will conduct surveys and interviews to produce investigative reports, publications, documentaries, etc. to discover and solve problems. Students will think for themselves, put their ideas into practice, and develop comprehensive action skills based on thorough theory.

POINT3

Considering things from various angles and honing creative thinking

The titles of graduation theses and projects include words such as SNS, music, movies, manga, anime, sports, fashion, and characters. By addressing these contemporary social and media phenomena from an academic perspective, new ideas not found within existing frameworks are refined.
