The Ideal Leaders Fostered by the GRM Program
Advanced Doctoral Program in Global Resource Management, Doshisha University (hereinafter referred to as“GRM Program”) was established under the philosophy of principled education, also aims at creating a newinterdisciplinary graduate program and expanding its success in globalizing or internationalizing its educational
programs. Instead of producing elitist leaders, this program will foster global leaders who will act in the developing
or emerging countries, effectively utilizing the knowledge gained in social sciences, humanities, and engineering andsciences. We are proud that this is a program owned by and unique to Doshisha University, and is firmly based on
the educational principles of the founder of Doshisha University, Joseph Hardy Neesima.
Target academic fields of GRM Program represent novel interdisciplinary fields that serve the management of
global resources, such as “natural resources and energy engineering,” “infrastructure and sciences” (that constitutethe foundation for human survival) and “humanities and social sciences” (that serve solutions to global-scale issues
in modern society), and the ultimate goal of GRM Program is to realize an integrated multicultural society.
The idea of Global Resource Management can be translated as an effort to seek an appropriate and fairmanagement and use of natural resources, human resources and social capital, and thereby to build a reliable andbetter social infrastructure that serves the sustainable development of society and people’s peace and security.
Based on such idea, GRM Program aims to cultivate leaders the ability to solve difficult problems of modern
society, break through impasses through the effective use of practical diverse knowledge from humanities andscience fields, and identify optimum solutions to technical issues in the natural scientific field from not only scientificviewpoints but also from humanities and social sciences viewpoints with the perception of “distribution of resource”.

II. Enrollment in the GRM Program1.

Eligibility to take the GRM Program
The GRM Program is open to all students of Graduate Schools and Five-Year Doctoral Programs except thestudents of the Professional Graduate Schools (Law School and Business School).
There is no admission test and all students who meet the requirements are eligible for the GRM Program.
The GRM Program can be taken additionally with the students’ affiliating Graduate School. Students have no
obligation to continue to a doctoral program. Enrollment only during the Master Program or declination during the
program is possible.
The GRM Program is also open for students that are not aiming to complete their Doctoral Degree or the
GRM Program, and it is possible for students to register only courses that interest them.
Students must check their affiliating Graduate School Office whether they are eligible to be enrolled in the
GRM Program.

2.

Steps towards the completion of the GRM Program
There are 2 choices of enrolling in the GRM Program.

① Completing the Doctoral Degree Program and the GRM Program. (GRM Student)② NOT completing the GRM Program.
The choice of either of the above can be decided at the time of course enrollment, and switching from theeither can be made with the submission of a designated form within the announced submission period before thestart of the 4th Semester of the Master Program.

4 / 27

e.g.) Students are required to submit a designated form if they wish to switch from “② NOT completing the GRM
Program” to “①Completing the Doctoral Degree and the GRM Program. (GRM Student)”

As noted previously, students affiliated to the eligible Graduate School who wish to enroll in the GRM Program
will take GRM original courses as well as the courses of the Master Program in accordance with the Graduate School
Program Guide.
The Evaluation for Program Certification of the GRM Program will be held for students who will take theDoctoral Degree Examination, obtained the required GRM credits (20 credits) including the course number 790:
Group Work Practice V with the required grading. When students have passed the Evaluation for Program
Certification of the GRM Program, and the Doctoral Degree Examination, Their completion of the Doshisha

III. Features of the GRM Program1.

Program Contents and policy on implementation
The GRM program provides a new research field, “Global Resource Management” which is unified with theinfrastructure of physical, social, and spiritual dimensions. The GRM Program focuses on “Global Resource
Management (GRM)” and cultivates students to be able to have a higher perspective of their research filed with an
original and academic angle with this new research field as an add-on education program.
Group work/onsite practice with the versatile theme related to “Infrastructure science/resource” will be
conducted to function as a node to connect all Graduate School students studying multidisciplinary collaboration,
cooperation, problem-based thinking, and to cultivate all-around leaders with a high level of expertise of a flexible
and applied skill.
The Courses offered by the GRM program are mainly conducted in English considering language skills of the
GRM students.

Knowledge / Skill
The GRM Program provides courses which enables students to have a cross border perspective and mind
with a foundation of understanding diversity and high applicability, and cultivates the ability for self-directed
expansion of knowledge and skill.
Provides courses as an interdisciplinary coeducation field, and learn how to distribute common resource ofhuman society, and acquire how to discover the solutions by learning together.

Cogitation / Judgement / Expressiveness
Humanities and Social Sciences and Science and Engineering students will study/discuss together to solve
composite tasks through practical exercises to gain different aspects of knowledge and ideas.
By students of different study areas studying together with the provided courses, the students will strengthen
multilateral cogitation, judgment with higher perspective, expressiveness to have mutual understanding with one
another, persuasiveness, and adjusting power which is required as a universal strength for all Graduate School
students.

Independence / Diversity / CooperativenessThe program will provide courses with Issue focused and Solution oriented education methods to acquire theattitude for independent problem solving.
Using group work effectively to solve composite problems, the program will provide collaborative work withmultilateral perspectives to learn cooperativeness.

6 / 27

１

The program will foster leaders who can tackle issues in emerging or developing countries
by working alongside with people.

The ideal leaders developed by the program will
work alongside the local people and communities togain a full appreciation and understanding of theirculture and context and help them find solutions totheir struggles. Through their experiences andpractical knowledge, eventually, these leaders willcontribute to the development of Japan and the world.

２

Problem solving with the theme of “Resource”.
The problems arising in modern society is mainly caused by inequalities in access to infrastructures and/or in

the distribution and ownership of resources. The program will assist in addressing these issues and strive to realize aharmonious co-existence of multiple cultures by providing solutions founded on sustainable development, humansecurity and a fair and reliable distribution of resources. The program emphasizes on the co-existence with difference
in religion as one of the major strategies towards realizing a harmonious multicultural society.

３Students of the program will acquire knowledge integrating Science and Engineering and
Global Studies, and apply them in the real world.

GRM is a doctoral program formed by integrating two of the university’s
well-established educational systems. They are the natural sciences andengineering sciences, specifically infrastructure science/resource and energy
science, Global Studies and the educational system of humanities and social
sciences related to multicultural co-existence. In order to bring about positive
breakthroughs to the modern world where economic growth is stifled, theprogram will strive to create a new kind of infrastructure that unifies the physical,
social, and spiritual dimensions.

～The Importance of a Comprehensive Integration of Science, Engineering and Global Studies ～Building Development Managers who can Design, Operate and Maintain Infrastructures, and Cultivating Engineers
who can Advocate and Implement Policies

7 / 27

The aim of Global Resource Management Program is not to produce highly specialized researchers, but Ph.D.
who can pull together knowledge from various disciplines to advocate and promote sustainable development andmulticultural harmony.
In developing and emerging countries, the capacity of graduates from single discipline, like humanities or social
sciences, to take part in nation-building, are relatively limited. The same is true for science and engineering
graduates. Even a business corporation that has succeeded in expanding globally through its science and engineeringexpertise cannot promote multicultural harmony without appropriate strategies and management practices andconsideration for social responsibility. Similarly, an expert in humanities and social sciences will not be able tocontribute effectively and holistically to society without any knowledge of infrastructure science/resource and energy
science which form the core of the human society.
As the expectancy towards “Ph. D. holders ”from society is high, knowledge of either Humanity and Social
Science or Science and Engineering will limit their career path. Knowledge of Science and Engineering without the
support of management skills or consciousness towards social contribution, one cannot be a leader to realize
multicultural harmony even at a global company. On another hand, even with a deep knowledge of Humanity andSocial Science, without the insight of infrastructure science/resource and energy science which is the foundation of
the real human society, one cannot contribute to stabilization of human society.
Global Resource Management Program is a comprehensive doctoral program that provides interdisciplinary
education, integrating science and engineering and global studies, emphasizing the values of equity, inclusiveness,
integrity and accountability in the management of global resources. Participants of the program will gain strong
support and incentives in promoting integrated multicultural societies around the world.

14 / 27

VI. Enrollment of GRM courses
1.

GRM course enrollment, examinations, performance evaluation
Courses of the GRM Program can be enrolled using the DUET system. Students taking the GRM courses are
required to take their examinations under the regular Doshisha University academic-year schedule. Student
performance in the GRM courses is evaluated under the same GPA evaluation standard that applies to regular
Doshisha University Graduate School courses.
For each course of the GRM Program, there are 2 patterns of the course number as below;① Course number for students who intend to complete the GRM Program.
② Course number for students who do not intend to complete the GRM Program.
The different course number with the same course name covers the same content. Students MUST choose
either of the course numbers at the time of registration.
The choice of either of the above can be decided at the time of course registration and switching from the either
can be made with the submission of a designated form within the announced submission period before the start of
the 4th Semester of the Master Program.

<NOTE>① Credits earned with the “Course number for students who intend to complete the GRM Program” will NOT be
calculated as the credits required to receive the diploma of their affiliating Graduate School/Major.
② Credits earned with the “Course number for students who do not intend to complete the GRM Program”,
students must check their affiliating Graduate School Office as to if or if not the credits earned in the GRM
Program will be counted as the required credit number to finish their affiliating Graduate School/Major. The
credit count depends on each Graduate School/Major.
③ It is possible to take courses with the “Course number for students who intend to complete the GRM Program”
AFTER earning some credits with the “Course number for students who do not intend to complete the GRM
Program”. In this case, the credits previously earned will be counted as the required credits to complete the
GRM Program and NOT the affiliating Graduate School/Major. Students MUST check if this switch will notaffect the completion of their affiliating Graduate School/Major BEFOREHAND.
④ Students cannot take the same course in the “Course number for students who intend to complete the GRM
Program” and the “Course number for students who do not intend to complete the GRM Program”. Students
MUST choose from either.

2.

Upper Limit of Number of Credits that can be registered by GRM Students
The number of credits that can be registered for the GRM Program is as below.
The number of credits that can be registered for the GRM Program in 1 Semester is restricted based on theconsideration of academic work load of the students’ affiliating Graduate Schools/Major. There may be academic
counseling before the course registration of the GRM Program.
