Common Subjects for the Graduate School of Humanities

Directed at interdiciplinary and social collaboration (Double-Wing Academic Architecture: DWAA)

  From the 2021 academic year, Osaka University will advance a graduation education system of Double-Wing Academic Architecture (DWAA). This system is geared toward interdisciplinary and social collaboration, with the aim of nurturing doctoral professionals capable of generating social innovations across a wide range of fields not limited to academia.
DWAA is composed of three areas: "Deepening of Knowledge," "Fusion of Knowledge," and "Integration of Knowledge with Society."In addition to developing expert knowledge, which has been the focus of conventional graduate school education, one feature of this new system is expanding education in two new directions predicated on the acquisition of core expertise.
  Osaka University has long offered a range of educational programs oriented toward the "Fusion of Knowledge" and the "Integration of Knowledge with Society." To provide students with more flexible choices, these programs have now been reorganized as "Intellectual Gymnastics Programs" (hereafter "Intellectual Gymnastics").
