Features of GCP
Practical English skills
At GCP, we aim to provide students with the English skills required for studying abroad at a graduate school, as well as the advanced English communication skills required for employment at global companies and international organizations both in Japan and overseas. In addition to intensive training in the four language skills, we also provide comprehensive English study through problem discovery, problem solving, and communication, so that students can reach the level of being able to study specialized subjects in English-speaking countries while remaining in Japan.
Overseas training
GCP provides full travel and training expenses and provides students with a two-week overseas training program in conjunction with their classes. The program focuses on solving problems in developing countries, and based on the detailed research and discussions that students undertook in the second semester of their first year, students will hone their practical skills through data analysis, discussions, and presentations under the guidance of professors from local universities during the fieldwork.
Problem-solving and proposal skills
In GCP classes, students hone their practical problem-solving and proposal skills that will be useful in a global society. They comprehensively grasp and analyze the issues facing the world (climate change, environmental issues, energy issues, etc.). They then pose their own questions about social issues and propose solutions to society.
Data Science
At GCP, you will learn the basics of the Python language, which is useful for data processing and analysis, and the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, which are essential for data science talent. You will also be trained to use statistics to interpret social phenomena through data. You will hone your data analysis skills, which will be highly effective when planning and considering business strategies and government policies.
Diverse career paths
Many of our graduates have gone on to prestigious graduate schools both overseas and domestically, been employed by top companies in the industry, and passed difficult civil service exams such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs specialist position and national civil service general position, the bar exam, and the Certified Public Accountant exam. Regardless of whether they have studied abroad or not, their language skills are highly valued by their employers, and they are assigned to departments where English is used on a daily basis, or they are active internationally, taking advantage of their employers' overseas dispatch programs to study abroad, etc.
