The Rikkyo Graduate School of Intercultural Communication is designed to educate and train communication experts and specialists in four different fields: Language Communication, Interpreting and Translation Studies, Environmental Communication, and Intercultural Communication Studies.

  In the Language and Communication course, the most recent theories of language communication are studied.  This course is designed to help students develop theoretically-grounded academic competence to carry out empirical, or practically-oriented, research activities.

  In the Intercultural Communication Studies course,the theories and practices of intercultural communication are studied, including interpersonal communication, organizational communication, as well as communication with developing countries and issues concerning multicultural societies.

  Students in the MA program will receive a master’s degree in intercultural communication upon fulfilling the academic requirements specified, including the submission of a master’s thesis, a project report, or a portfolio.
