Curriculum Features
In the future, society will undergo rapid changes, and the skills required will become increasingly diverse.
What is needed in such an era is the ability to think deeply and from multiple perspectives, to integrate knowledge from oneself and others, and to make comprehensive judgments.
At Toyo University, we call the knowledge that fosters this ability "Convergence of Knowledge."
Starting in April 2025, the "Convergence of Knowledge" education curriculum will begin.
While delving deeply into your field of expertise, you will also be able to actively combine learning from various disciplines to create a unique learning experience tailored to yourself.
A new form of learning that connects to the future awaits you.
