About Graduate School of Media and Governance
Integrating Technology and Society
The Graduate School of Media and Governance was established at Keio University SFC in 1994.

Students are then able to use their knowledge and skills to identify and resolve social problems. In the doctoral program, students use advanced technology to conduct research in different fields and go on to become international researchers, educators, or specialists. Its curriculum focuses on active student participation in need-based social projects.
