Here at the Meiji University Graduate School of Law, we offer Master’s Degree Programs in public and civil law.
In the Masters’ Public Law Program, students may choose from a Legal Researcher Training Course and a Advanced Professional Training Course. Each course provides students with grounding not only in the fundamental subjects of positive law relevant to their various fields of study, but also in a range of subjects pertaining to cutting-edge fields. Our goal is to develop students into highly skilled legal experts and law researchers with the mindset and ability to work autonomously.
There is also a Doctorate Program in public law, through which we aim to further develop students’ abilities to pursue their research independently. The program has a broad focus, taking in comparative law and fundamental law, as well as other subjects in cutting-edge fields, in order that the students may build up an extensive knowledge and nurture their innate creativity.
