Key Points of the Department

POINT1

Understanding media through content creation

There is a difference between studying media and criticizing it. It is easy to praise or criticize media messages, but if you study them sociologically, you need to know the mechanisms and where information is transmitted. Putting yourself in the position of the creator will help you understand 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 graduation projects include words such as SNS, music, movies, manga, anime, sports, fashion, and characters. By tackling these modern social and media phenomena from an academic perspective, students can hone new ideas that are not based on existing values.
