Diverse Backgrounds, Common Purpose
Leading the Asia-Pacific Region
in Knowledge
Living in the globalizing Asia-Pacific, we cannot remain unconcerned about the global issues
related to peace, sustainable development and human rights. When armed conflicts take place,
disasters hit, environmental degradation occurs, or there are people without the right to live
with dignity because of social exclusion and discriminations in the Asia-Pacific, can we treat
them as someone else’s problems? As a resident of the Asia-Pacific, you may grieve over the fact
that there are vulnerable people facing multiple threats and feel that we should strive for
promoting regional cooperation in order to solve these problems. When you feel this way, you
may be forming a new sense of identity as a member of the symbiotic Asia-Pacific region,
strengthening the ties of solidarity beyond national borders.
In this context, in the international community, and particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, there
is a need for global talent who will promote regional cooperation in order to tackle global issues.

Not only the international civil servants who work at the United Nations or the ASEAN Secre-

KATSUMA Yasushi
in the region play important roles in promoting multi-national cooperation. Furthermore, the
activities carried out by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and civil society organizations
are becoming more prominent. In addition, more and more private companies are becoming
conscious about philanthropy and corporate social responsibilities. Lastly, higher education
institutions, including universities, as well as other scholars and researchers have a lot to offer
for tackling global issues.
I sincerely hope that you join us to become the global talent of the future for promoting regional
cooperation in the Asia-Pacific in order to tackle the many pressing issues facing our world
today and the generations of tomorrow.

Vision
In the midst of the rapid globalization that marks the contemporary world, the presence of the Asia-Pacific region
is becoming more significant than ever in the fields of international politics, economy, society and culture. The
mission of the Graduate School of Asia-Pacific Studies (GSAPS) is based on two principles: 1) To pursue
academic research that balances global and regional perspectives in addressing the range of historical, political,
economic, business management, industrial, social, and cultural issues arising among and across the nations of
the Asia-Pacific region; and 2) To cultivate future professionals who are experts in their fields and who can apply
their advanced training and knowledge to contribute broadly to improving the living standards and social
conditions of individuals around the world.
Solving the various issues emerging out of contemporary global society requires acquiring historical and cultural
understandings of the region combined with analytical tools from the disciplines of international relations, policy
studies, and international development. To this end, GSAPS is one of the few educational institutions in the world
that offers an interdisciplinary International Relations program which trains students in three specializations: Area
Studies, International Relations, and International Development/Policy Studies. Faculty and students come from
diverse backgrounds, and, as part of the vibrant GSAPS community, students are able to experience a microcosm
of global society as they pursue a range of curricular and research activities.

STUDY ABROAD
CHO Ju Young
Study Abroad
From September to December, 2011, I studied at George Washington University in Washington D.C. as an exchange
student. The department I belonged to was the Elliott School which aims to nurture global leaders in international affairs.
The school was great in that classes provided practical knowledge from actual/former politicians or officers in the
Pentagon, and also that all the participants were highly passionate in class. This great environment to study international
relations was possible especially because it was the capital city of the United States. The World Bank, the IMF, the White
House and embassies of various countries were all located nearby. Therefore, it was relatively easy to grab a chance to
meet famous figures and scholars and to participate in world class events. I personally participated in the Wall Street
Journal CEO Council Meeting where I was able to meet a lot of famous figures. It was a very short term, I would say, to
experience such wonderful academic and social events; therefore, I would strongly recommend you to explore the same
way I did by choosing to study internationally.

East Asian University Institute ( EAUI )
Waseda University EAUI Program
for Asian Regional Integration
The East Asian University Institute (EAUI) Program originally began in 2011 as a program subsidized under the
“Re-Inventing Japan Project” of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (the “East Asian University Institute (EAUI) for Asian Regional Integration” : AY 2011-2015). The EAUI
Program consists of joint education and research programs operated by five partner schools (College of
Political Science and Economics, Korea University; School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Nanyang
Technological University; School of International Studies, Peking University; Faculty of Political Science,
Thammasat University; Graduate School of Asia-Pacific Studies, Waseda University) for promoting Asian
regional cooperation and integration and fostering young leaders who can serve both global and regional
public interests and contribute to sustainable development in the world and Asia.
The EAUI joint education program is made up of components for fostering understanding of the theme of
Asian regional integration and cooperation with the semester exchange program at its core. The EAUI
Program issues certificates of completion to students who have fulfilled the requirements for specially
designed curricular models. There are two types of the EAUI certificate of completion: 1) Certificate of
Completion issued solely by GSAPS to the student who has fulfilled the requirements set by GSAPS and 2)
Joint Certificate of Completion issued to the student who has fulfilled the requirements by GSAPS and the
EAUI partner school which hosted the student for the semester exchange program.

SCHOLARSHIPS
SCHOLL Sebastian Peter
Scholarships
Two incredible years. I would do it again, anytime.
It is hard to do justice trying to describe my two MA years and the life that came with it in just a few sentences. They have
been rewarding at all possible levels. GSAPS has countless opportunities on offer, and one just needs to learn how to
prioritise, because two years is simply just too short to seize all of them.
I was fortunate to have been awarded two scholarships after I entered GSAPS. Firstly, the Future Leader’s Program for
Regional Governance and Cooperation in Asia Scholarship by the Japan Student Service Organisation (JASSO) and
secondly, the Partial Tuition-Waiver Scholarship by Waseda University. They have allowed me to render my time in Japan
even more memorable.
Overall, the past two years were so enriching and overwhelming that I decided to stay on longer, but now as a PhD
student.

INTERNSHIP
Internship Institution : National Diet of Japan - MP Office
Internship
During the space of 4 months, I was able to experience something most foreigners in Japan cannot - the inner workings of Japanese
politics! An MP offered me this great opportunity to gain insight into the actual policy making process in Japan and to help me shape
my own understanding of Japanese politics.I was able to research in my own area of interest and craft a policy proposal and reform
agenda for Japanese ODA to be used for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.His office is a truly international and inspiring place for any
young researcher and politics enthusiast. I was able to form long-lasting friendships with Japanese staff members and other foreign
interns and experienced the day-to-day hard work of a Japanese politician firsthand. Inviting foreigners to this core center of Japanese
political life surely is a great way to further international understanding and shape the mindset of future leaders.
I will forever be grateful for this opportunity and it will remain a milestone in my life.
XIE Yizhe
Internship Institution : Sumitomo Corporation
An internship is probably the best opportunity for an engaged student to move beyond the Ivory Tower and increase exposure to the
real world. I was privileged to do an internship at the Sumitomo Corporation Global Research – an in-house think tank of the Sumitomo
Corporation in Tokyo – one of the world’s largest general trading houses, which are considered the backbone of Japanese economy.
Among other ad hoc tasks, I was responsible for monitoring and analyzing political and economic events across the world that might
have a business impact on the firm’s global presence and presented my work daily at morning meetings. Because of the intrinsic
nature of the internship, I was able to apply many things I learnt at school to work and find out my own answers to questions like what
and how knowledge and theories can be applied in daily business, what’s the culture and communication style of Japanese firms, and
what kind of talents are in great need and what points I need to improve and work on, etc. Upon completing the internship, I can say
that I walked away with confidence and knowing myself better and became more grateful to GSAPS for its interdisciplinary approach
and faculty with a wide range of interests.

【Project Research】Everyday Life in the Asia-Pacific (Prof. ROBERTS Glenda S.)
【Career After GSAPS】International Business/Business Sector
Q.1 Why Did You Choose GSAPS ?
I wanted to do my Master’s degree in Japan because of positive experiences as an exchange student to Japan in my Bachelor
years, and a friend of mine recommended GSAPS to me. The characteristics of GSAPS that appealed to me the most were the
fact that one can study in both English and Japanese, the curriculum is extensive and enables us to study the Asia-Pacific region
from many different perspectives, and that studying in one of Japan’s leading universities will give me an advantage in looking
for a job after graduation.
Q.2 How Was Your Academic Life at GSAPS ?
Studying at GSAPS has been demanding but also very rewarding. The schedule is pretty tight with all the required course work
and preparing the Master’s thesis. But at the same time, I have learnt a great deal in the courses I took, both from the professors
who are experts in their field and the lively in-class discussions with other students coming from a variety of backgrounds. I
think that is definitely one of the greatest strengths of GSAPS: people from different cultural backgrounds challenge you to
question your convictions and help you to think from other perspectives as well. One example of this is the Campus EAUI
program where Waseda University organizes joint courses and semester exchange opportunities with other leading Asian
universities, offering their students a chance to exchange ideas with peers studying in different Asian countries.
Q.3 Please Share Some Comments with Applicants
Regardless of whether you are considering a career in academics, organizations or corporations, GSAPS can offer useful tools
for your future. From the personal networks of professors and GSAPS alumni, support of the GSAPS office staff and other
Waseda University services for students, to the academic skills you will learn during your study at GSAPS, you can be sure that
your time here will not go to waste!

【Project Research】Global Sustainability and International Development Cooperation Studies (Prof. MATSUOKA Shunji)
【Career After GSAPS】International Business/Business Sector
Q.1 Why Did You Choose GSAPS ?
At the end of my school life in SILS, Waseda, I had to decide my future path. I have studied various fields which are related to global
issue, and the environment was one of my favorite topics. I wanted to be more academically trained regarding environmental issues
and, at the same time, I also wanted to study other related fields. GSAPS was the best choice because GSAPS provide me with a good
environment to fulfill my academic interests such as interdisciplinary courses and highly qualified faculty members. Plus, the fact that
I could study with students who have different backgrounds and cultures made me more interested in studying in GSAPS.
Q.2 How Was Your Academic Life at GSAPS ?
During the two years in GSAPS, I was able to develop my knowledge through the classes and my own research in seminar. Students
have access to good academic resources such as journals and books that Waseda provides. I also actively made use of these
opportunities. Moreover, I really appreciate that there were many chances to share my cultural interests and ideas with other students
from diverse countries. The EAUI program is one of the good examples that students can share their knowledge with other school’s
students. All those precious experiences in GSAPS helped me to be a person who is more professional with a global perspective.
Q.3 Please Share Some Comments with Applicants
For future applicants who are interested in improving academic knowledge and who want to actively engage in international fields, I
would like to recommend that GSAPS is a great choice for you. Two years ago, like many other students, I was also really worried
about my future, but now, I can say studying at GSAPS was a truly valuable step for my future career.
