As a comprehensive university, the University of Hyogo offers a rich and diverse range of general education courses that help students grow beyond the boundaries of their major fields.
General education courses are designed for all undergraduate students. They help students develop broad perspectives, cultivate well-rounded character, strengthen inquiry-based learning, and build international communication skills.
General education courses are offered mainly in the first year at the Himeji Engineering Campus through in-person classes. Remote learning systems are also used to provide effective and flexible learning opportunities.
These courses cultivate broad knowledge, well-rounded character, and the ability to explore social issues from multiple perspectives.
These courses help students develop active learning habits, foundational skills for university study, and the ability to continue learning throughout their careers.
In addition to foundational seminars, students can take interdisciplinary seminars that integrate the humanities and sciences, cross faculty boundaries, and address real-world problems. Courses that reflect the strengths and distinctive features of the University of Hyogo are also offered.
These courses aim to improve the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Placement-based classes allow students to study at a level suited to their abilities.
E-learning and AI-based tools are also used to develop practical communication skills for an increasingly global society.
These courses deepen students' understanding of the importance of data science in society and provide basic knowledge and skills for using data effectively.
