The School of Political Science and Economics (SPSE) is one of the original academic units established when Waseda University
was founded in 1882. The synthesis of the study of political science and economics was innovative at that time and lies at the
cutting edge of contemporary academia, both in Japan and globally. The School remains true to its founding goal of advancing
scientific understanding of political and economic phenomena.
SPSE offers specialized degree programs in political science and economics that are fully comparable in quality to majors in
Our curriculum provides a systematic progression from introductory to advanced courses, and emphasizes quantitative
methods and data analysis, which have become particularly sought-after skills in recent years. Students may select from a widerange of specializations offered by our faculty.

In 2017, SILS started the APM program (Area Studies and Plurilingual/Multicultural Education
Program). This program is held in French, Spanish, Chinese and Korean and not only focuses onacquiring each language, but also includes“Content and Language Integrated Learning”(CLIL),
during which students learn about the target country's culture, history, economy, and politics fromdifferent perspectives in the target language. A one year study abroad program is also linked with
the APM program, allowing students to choose to study abroad in the target country to deepen
their knowledge. APM fosters students not only to have plurilingual and multicultural skills, but

From April 2018, the undergraduate English-based Program was reorganized into seven Majors, with education and researchSpecialized courses / interdepartmental specialized courses

In the first and second years, students mainly take courses aimed at acquiring the foundational knowledge required in all fields
of science and engineering, while preparing to take the specialized courses under each Major that begin from the second year.
During graduation research, students are assigned to a research laboratory or seminar and work on compiling their graduation
thesis under the direct guidance of their supervising teachers.
Students enrolling in September are required to take Japanese, and they may take the course offered by the university's Center
for Japanese Language.

When students enroll in the English-based Undergraduate Program in Science and Engineering, Waseda University, each
student is automatically affiliated with the School responsible for administering the students' chosen major program. At theend of their third year, each student's departmental affiliation is determined by the School taking into account the student's
academic performance and preference. The table below shows the departments which students may be affiliated withaccording to their chosen major (e.g. students who choose to major in Mathematical Sciences will be affiliated with either the

Unique and Inimitable Global Experience
I always loved traveling and learning more about other countries and cultures.
Japan was one of the countries that attracted me the most, by its intriguing mix
of tradition and modernity. Waseda gave me the opportunity to come study
in Tokyo at a prestigious university, and get an insight into the real Japaneseculture and lifestyle. Studying in JCulP is providing me with a unique andinimitable global experience. At Waseda, people from all different backgrounds

Aside from the obvious merits derived from immersing oneself in an
unfamiliar culture, the university’s practice of international learningis what drew me to Waseda, specifically the SPSE. As someone
who studies politics in an effort to expand their worldview, what

I believe JCulP is giving me the possibility to study both media and culture, andto take part in constructive discussions in an international environment. After mystudies, I wish to work in the media industry to share the knowledge I developed
during my university time with people who, like me, enjoy discovering the world.

Customized Study Programs
These programs are designed especially for Waseda
students. There are two types of programs: one wherestudents can take regular academic courses, and one
where they focus on brushing up a foreign language
from beginner level.

Short-term Programs
Students have a chance to develop their language
skills and to learn the culture of their chosen country
