In 1939, the Nagoya Imperial University was established, and in 1949 it was changed to Nagoya University under a new education system. In 2004, Nagoya University became a 11.Features of University national university with a new governing structure. Nagoya University maintains a free and vibrant academic culture with the mission of contributing to the well-being and happiness of humankind through research and education. 2 The following Mission Statement of the Graduate School of International Development, Nagoya University explains its features and principles. 1) Human Resource Development in the Fields of International Development and Cooperation One of the fundamental educational objectives of Nagoya University is to cultivate “courageous intellectuals”. To accomplish this, the Graduate School of International Development (GSID) is developing human resources which will take an active role in the field of international development and cooperation in the future, while emphasizing the importance of practical education for its students. 2) The Creation of Original Models 12.Features of Graduate In carrying out academic research, GSID promotes the principles of cross-cultural School understanding and mutual understanding among peoples. Furthermore, it doesn’t adhere to Western development models, but conducts leading and innovative research that is reflected in GSID’s curriculum and instruction. In the fields of international development and cooperation, GSID utilizes Japan’s development experience to pursue development that meets the realities of developing countries. 3) Networking Center GSID promotes the formation of international networks among various academic and research institutions related to international development, cooperation and communication, and it also plays an important role as a national and international center in these fields. International Development and Cooperation Course The Department of International Development Cooperation Studies of the Graduate School of International Development (GSID) at Nagoya University offer a graduate program in international development and cooperation. The graduate program aims at equipping graduate students with knowledge of a wide range of development issues pertaining to developing countries and the practices of international development cooperation (i.e., development literacy), and capabilities and skills to contribute to solving such development issues (i.e., professional minimums). The Course has the following key features: 13 . Features and (a) The goal is to train future development professionals by imparting knowledge Curriculum of Program and understanding of the realities of the development world, and by providing them with skills and competence so as to work not only in organizations, both bilateral and multilateral, concerning international development and cooperation, but also in a variety of related professional fields. Thus, it draws on a conceptual model of T-shape education, which stresses breadth of knowledge and understanding of development issues (i.e., development literacy) and depth of knowledge in one’s chosen field of specialization. (b) The “development literacy” component of the courses provides students with basic knowledge of development studies, which is interdisciplinary in nature, through courses such as Introduction to International Development. Drawing on Japanese Development Experience, it provides alternative perspectives which differ from the conventional development theories developed largely on the Western model of development. 3 (c) The field of development studies is concerned with many dimensions of development such as economic development, poverty alleviation, social development and human development. It entails a close praxis between theories and practices, as the objects of research lie in the realities of developing countries, and the results of research must also be fed into practices. Therefore, the Course places strong emphasis on (1) fieldwork in developing countries, (2) exchange with scholars, development professionals and students from developing countries, (3) reflective education directly linked with development practices, and (4) overseas training and internships. (d) Half of GSID students are international students. Many students come to GSID with work experience in government organizations, the private sectors, and NGOs. Many of the faculty have work experience with Japanese or international development organizations, and some are engaged in development projects as part of ODA. At GSID, education and research are carried out through dynamic interactions among scholars and students from both developing and developed countries, and many development practitioners. The medium of teaching is mainly English, and students may complete their programs using English only. With respect to the course’s "professional minimum" component, 5 programs are offered, after completing the development literacy component. These five programs are: Program in Economic Development Policy and Management (EDP&M), Program in Peace and Governance, Program in Education and Human Resource Development, Program in Inclusive Society and State, Program in Poverty and Social Policy. In these five specialized programs, students take a variety of subjects based on relevant disciplines, and deepen knowledge
