Let’s explore the Earth and its history together!

Come, and enjoy mathematics!

This course will help you explore why you study and provide you with different learning strategies that can be used immediately in your other courses. Note: This is a very interactive course, so please come prepared to think, share your opinion and discuss the topics in class actively.

This course is possibly best suited for students who already took the Japanese course and want to focus on improving their English.

The purpose of this course is to apply quantum mechanics to study molecules. It is an extension of Quantum Chemistry I, although it is easier.

In this course we will travel back to March 11, 2011 and its aftermath. We will learn about the triple disaster itself and study a variety of cultural responses (literature, performing arts, cinema, music, etc.). The workload for this course is very high, but except for readings on the theoretical and socio-political background, all readings are available in Japanese, which should ease the workload a bit. Especially at a time when the Japanese government is recommitting to nuclear power, it will be crucial to look back at 2011 and compare the contemporary discourse with today’s situation. If you are not sure this course is for you, you are welcome to just sit in for the first few times!

Linear Algebra is one of the most important tools for mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, engineers, chemists, etc. This course is a linear algebra which is targeted at non-mathematician, i.e. it includes a lot of examples. We will start really slowly with by learning how to solve linear equations systematically and then see how this can help in a lot of applications. If you already took a linear algebra in Japanese, then this course might also be a possibility to learn the English vocabulary for it!

Law is deeply connected to culture and society: let’s take a look at different ways of interpreting and applying the law.

The course is easy, without complicated maths. but it still touches important concepts of science and materials. So you will see some easy formulas and will have to use your brain to listen and understand. You will realize that the different branches of sciences, like mechanics, optics, thermodynamics, chemistry etc are in fact described by the same universal concepts, making the understanding of everything more simple.

This is the first of three lecture courses (Fundamentals of Physics I–III) designed to cover the basic classical physics to provide a firm foundation for learning science and engineering, and is offered to undergraduate students in their first year. This course introduces the concepts and laws of classical mechanics. Specifically, the lecture covers various concepts such as Newton’s second law, force, work, kinetic and potential energy, conservation of energy, center of mass and linear momentum. Basic physical and mathematical concepts such as velocity, acceleration, vectors, differentiation and integration are also reviewed.

This class is an introduction to quantitative analysis, from the political science perspective. It uses more math than most social sciences classes, and is probably easier to understand because of it. Because this is an introductory level class, advanced math skills are also not required. You should have an understanding of basic algebra.

If you would like to challenge yourself in taking this course you are very welcome!

Come, and enjoy mathematics!

This class looks at international migration issues and trends. It should be especially interesting for students with some international experience or interested in spending time abroad.

All students are welcome to join this course. For this semester, part of the course will be done in collaboration with North Carolina State University through the COIL program. Active participation from all students is highly encouraged.

All students are welcome to this seminar! Let’s share the excitement of science!

Anyone with interest is welcome to this course. The only thing I ask of you is to leave all the preconception at the door and participate as an individual eager to explore new subjects (just because you are categorized as “Japanese students,” please don’t attempt to “represent” that category: everyone is different).

This is the first of two courses in analytical mechanics. Analytical mechanics abstracts from Newtonian mechanics and generalizes it to a versatile framework that can be applied to various areas of physics, such as quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and relativity. After a survey of elementary principles, we discuss the core concepts of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, with special emphasis on symmetry principles, followed by some explicit examples.

This course was designed to promote understanding introductory organic chemistry and to help students build a logical framework for understanding fundamental organic chemistry. The primary purpose of this course is to help students build a logical framework for understanding fundamental organic chemistry. The course emphasizes how the organic molecular structures and the electron density compositions are related to patterns of organic chemical reactions.

This course includes not only G30 students but also exchange students from NUPACE. We thus have a diverse group of students of different nationalities. It will be a quite interesting experience for Japanese students to get to know various situations and issues regarding gender.

Let’s learn about the legal systems of the world!

This course provides an overview of literary theory from the early 20th Century to present day. It explores various theoretical approaches to reading texts. For students new to literary theory, this course can serve as an introduction. For students already familiar with theoretical approaches to literature, it can also extend the knowledge and understanding of such approaches. All reading and discussion will be conducted in English. English-language translations of reading will be distributed when necessary. Students are welcome to consult translated texts in their original language, but the version used for class discussion will be in English. In addition, over the course of the semester, students will undertake a close reading of Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo (2019). At the end of this course, students will have a thorough understanding of multiple approaches to literature, and experience of close reading of a multitude of texts.

This course aims to introduce students to a selection of literary works, from the early 19th Century to the early 21st Century, across various cultural and linguistic boundaries. Through close reading of various texts, students will discuss these works in relation to their unique socio-cultural contexts, their narrative and stylistic composition, as well as their role as ‘world literature’. In addition, students will apply these principles through creative practice in writing poetry, prose, or creative non-fiction pieces. At the end of this course, students will have a thorough understanding of multiple creative approaches to writing and comprehending literature, experience of close reading of a multitude of texts, as well as practical creative skills for future practice.

Genetics I is related to Genetics II and III.

Please join us to learn new approaches to understanding Japanese history from an outside perspective!

This is physical chemistry: we use physics to explain chemical phenomena. The course is an upgrade to what you learned in Fundamentals of Chemistry.

Studium Generale is the easiest English-taught course in the G30 international program! The course introduces different topics at a beginners level, so no previous knowledge is required. All lectures are recorded and can be watched any time. The course is entirely online, so students from any campus can join – no travel required, just switch your computer on and join. This is the perfect starting point to get a taste of lectures in English and see that you can do it!

This course is an introduction to biology for beginners. If you wanted to learn more about biology, this is a good place to start. Everyone is welcome!

Linear Algebra is one of the most important tools for mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, engineers, chemists, etc. This course is a linear algebra which is targeted at non-mathematician, i.e. it includes a lot of examples.

Let’s take a voyage in space to explore our solar system and beyond!

This course introduces students to contemporary topics in cinema studies, notably at the intersection of globalization, cinema, and cultural criticism. We usually get a diverse group of students not just in terms of their places of origin, but also their level of familiarity with the topic. The course does involve a fair amount of writing (academic composition), but students generally enjoy the opportunity to discuss cinema in a guided setting.

Much of the material in this course will be already familiar for Japanese students from high school. Suitable for those who wish to revise basic material, or just practice their English in an academic setting.

Sugar, lipid, and enzyme are the topics in this course. I hope it will be fun to learn about the biochemical properties of them.

The purpose of this course is to introduce quantum mechanics for chemistry students chemistry students. Thus, it will be not as difficult as quantum mechanics for physics students. The main language will be in fact calculus and kindergarten English.

This course could be very well known as “mathematics applied to the human mind”. You are going to learn a lot about how people make decisions, but you need to know some calculus to keep up with the lessons.

Everyone interested in learning about Earth Science is welcome. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.

In this course we’ll learn about corporate law and governance, an important topic in today’s world. I try to make the lectures fun and interesting, so please feel free to join!

This course is an introductory comparative politics class. No prior knowledge of politics is required. The current plan is to have pre-recorded lectures, which allows for repeated viewings if necessary. Should all enrolled students be physically present in Nagoya we will move to in-person classes.

Linear Algebra II considers arbitrary vector spaces and we will discuss the important topic of Determinants, Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors. This has a lot of applications in various fields of natural sciences. You can find a detailed overview of this course on the course homepage of last year here: https://www.henrikbachmann.com/la2_2021.html

A good opportunity to get into contact with foreign students.

Everyone’s welcome to join this course!

Hello everyone, in this course we will discuss about “pregnancy” and “childbirth” in a way that might be new to you if you are not a Humanities student. Of course, those are biological phenomena, but we will talk about them as political events. Please be prepared to read one novel per week (feel free to read the Japanese original, but you will need to find the original yourself in most cases) and very actively participate in discussions. It’ll be a lot of fun and probably change the way you think about “literature” (in addition to pregnancy and childbirth)!

Dear Students: The content of the class is pretty easy and I believe is a great chance to get the experience of having classes in English as well as make friends from abroad. When you leave the fear of attending something that is “not so easy” is when you growth the most. Take the advantage while learning Modern Biology 🙂

Come, see, and enjoy.

Through critical theory, this course investigates the cultural, political and philosophical implications of globalization. It provides an opportunity to engage in serious critical reflection on questions of progress, multiculturalism, and authority. Although literature is the main focus we will also explore these critical concepts and approaches through other media. In addition, over the course of the semester, students will undertake a close reading of The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon (1965). At the end of this course, students will have a thorough understanding of multiple approaches to critical theory, and experience of close reading a multitude of texts.

This course introduces students to Literary Modernism. As works such as those by Freud, Darwin, Marx, and Nietzsche began to change the world’s ideas in the 19th Century, works of literature around the world underwent a great transformation. Writers such as Woolf, Eliot, Joyce, and Kafka presented revolutionary ideas about aesthetics, creativity, gender, culture and society. Through readings of these and other authors, students will compare and contrast the cultural changes that took place. Although literature is the main focus we will also explore Modernism in other media. All reading and discussion will be conducted in English. Students are welcome to consult translated texts in their original language, but the version used for class discussion will be in English. At the end of this course, students will have a thorough understanding of multiple approaches to literary modernism, and experience of close reading of a multitude of texts.

The course is rather intensive, but if you have some previous knowledge of electrostatics and magnetism, it should be easier to follow. Also, there is a tutorial associated to this course. You may consider taking it too. Its name is Fundamental Physics Tutorial IIa.

Transcription and translation are the topic of this course. At the final lectures, we will learn about how to read a genetics paper.

We are learning each chapter together. If you get any part hard to understand, do not hesitate to ask others. Acting fast can solve the problem precisely.

注意事項：

Please remember that there is a prerequisite to take the course.

聴講について：

Students are recommended to prepare each lecture by reading the scheduled chapters and to review it by solving the related homework questions. The course acquires sufficient efforts of participants to complete the entire course, where students auditing only can annoy other students and give a negative influence. 

This course introduces you to how your own body works, and helps you understand both health and disease. Active participation (questions!) is highly encouraged and preparation before class (reading the textbook in advance) is expected. All course materials can be accessed online, but hopefully we will have a chance to move to a classroom and discuss in person. Anyone is welcome, whether taking the course for credit or just for fun. Feel free to ask for any accommodations you might need.

This class will provide with the basic notions about international sales of goods. It is held entirely online (on demand) for this term, so you can access the materials anytime.

I got my undergraduate and master’s degrees in Japan and then went to the US to get a PhD. You can ask me about abroad for degrees in science.

This a 3rd year course. You must know the concept of reciprocal lattice for this course. Basic knowledge of quantum mechanics is needed.

Hello all, it would be great if you give it a try for the first lecture, and build up some self-confidence. At the same time, most of the G-30 students who take the course are not from the backgrounds of humanities, so it is a great chance to learn something exciting yet fundamental about cities and urban culture together (in English)!

Studium Generale (ストゥディウム・ゲネラーレ) is the easiest course in G30 and is open to all majors at Nagoya and Gifu Universities. In this course you will hear about many different topics, and will have a chance to discuss with students from many different schools. You are encouraged to do your own little project on a chosen topic and present it at the end of the semester. While the course content is introductory, please note that we expect all participating students to be able to read, write, understand lectures and speak out their thoughts in English. If that is difficult for you but you want to try anyway (and you don’t need course credit) – there is an Open Course version where you can access lectures content on-demand, without the homework and other pressure of the credit course. Choose your style and join!

注意事項：

This course is for everyone interested in exploring our solar system and beyond. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask me!

Let’s explore earth together! Don’t hesitate to join the course!

Conditions: Students will require a high level of English to take this course and should have completed previous courses in Political Science. It is recommended for only 3rd and 4th year students.

Message from instructor: Students who want to do their own social science research should take this course. If you are planning to do a Master’s degree in political science at a university abroad, you should build a toolbox of methods you can access anytime to answer research questions. I will do my best to help you learn this challenging subject.

In this course we will explore “Food in modern Japanese literature” from many different angles. Make sure to have lunch before joining the classes!

Most of the content of this course is covered in the Japanese high-school curriculum. You are welcome to try it out and see what you think before deciding if you want to continue.

Message for the instructor: The course analyzes how economic agents make choices and the implications of these in the market equilibrium and welfare. It is a nice course but we will use some math because you know, you probably know some idiots but we assume that people are rational and don’t make choices randomly 🙂 Please join us if you want to know how rational people think!

Message for the instructor: This course is to get knowledge of biochemistry and based on the textbook of Voet.

Conditions for applying: calculus is necessary (1D, 2D, 3D integrals; derivatives)

Message from Instructor: This course is quite intensive. Two classes per week. Calculus is necessary. New and sometimes complex concepts are introduced. Registration for Fundamental Physics Tutorial IIa (FPTIIa) is recommended. It is a tutorial for this course. Need to spend at least several hours per week studying in order to do well. There are weekly online assignments in WileyPlus (cost ~4000 Yens). WileyPlus also gives you access to the electronic book.

The purpose of this course is to introduce quantum chemistry. The main language is math. I have to admit that quantum chemistry is weird and learning it will be both fun and confusing.

This is an introductory comparative politics course, aimed at students who are not political science or law majors. As such, we assume students have not studied much political science, and take things from the beginning fairly slowly. This kind of course would be ideal for Japanese students.

We are going to focus exclusively on hypothesis testing, for one and two populations. The course is useful as an introduction for those students interested in conducting serious econometric analysis in the close future, but it is tough if you are not familiar with the contents covered in Introductory Econometrics I.

Conditions：The Students should have a basic knowledge on Linear Algebra I. An overview can be found here: https://www.henrikbachmann.com/la1_2020.html . But at the beginning of the course we will recall a lot of things and do everything more general, i.e. also students who did not take Linear Algebra I are welcome to join!

Message from the instructor:  If you are a student doing anything related to natural science then you need to have basic knowledge of Linear Algebra (At least if you want to be successful in your research & job). Since the English used in math classes is quite simple compared to other classes (like physics, chemistry, or biology) this class would be a perfect opportunity to try following a lecture taught in English. If you are a student who already had Linear Algebra (In Japanese) then this course is also a perfect opportunity for you to learn the corresponding English words for this course.

Why not experiencing some English as a Medium for Instruction (EMI) or perhaps refreshing the chemistry knowledge?

Let’s explore the ocean floor together! Don’t hesitate to join the course!

All Japanese students are welcome to join this course 🙂

The purpose of this course is to introduce the basic theory of analytic functions of one complex variable. If you are interested, you are welcome to try the course first and decide later if you want to continue.

Notice: Knowledge of multivariate calculus and linear algebra is necessary.

In this graduate seminar, we will be reading a range of Japanese literary works dating from the Heian to the Edo periods. While most of the students will be reading the texts in English translation, Japanese students are welcome to read in Classical Japanese and/or modern Japanese translations. Discussion will be mostly in English, though there will be close readings of some excerpts in Japanese. One to two students may be admitted on a auditing (not for credit) basis, but only if they are committed to attending regularly for the duration of the semester. Seats are limited, and I will need to prioritize spaces for students who are serious about participating in the class.

Notice: This content for this course will be delivered via CANVAS. Students who would like to participate in this course will need to sign up for a free account CANVAS to participate. We will be using CANVAS (not the School of Economics account).

My course, in my opinion, is very basic. A lot of concepts have been introduced at the high school level.

Welcome to Security Studies where we will study this fascinating subfield of International Relations. This course will involve lots of reading but also lots of interaction between students. I hope you will join us!

This graduate seminar is open to Japanese students at the MA or PhD level who would like to learn about the theories and methods of studying Japanese visual culture. It is a fun class, where we spend most of our time in group work analyzing visual artifacts from the late Edo period to the present. One or two students may be admitted on an auditing basis (not receiving credit), but only on the condition that they attend the discussion meetings regularly and do the readings.

Notice：Students should understand that this is a graduate seminar, and while we will be reading some texts in Japanese, many of the articles and books will be in English. Students comfortable with reading about thirty to forty pages of academic English per week, and participating in group discussion, should be fine taking this course.

Physiology and Anatomy 1 is an advanced course that focuses on human physiology concepts. The course is suitable for students who already have a basic background in human anatomy and physiology, as it builds on this fundamental knowledge and discusses physiology processes at molecular level. A focus is made to show connections between organ systems and a connection between health and disease.

Not for the faint hearted (笑) but perhaps a good opportunity to polish up the English vocabulary, helpful for everybody who wants to visit a laboratory abroad (wink, wink)

This seminar explores aspects of modern Japan’s cultural, historical, socioeconomic, and political relations with Asian neighbors. We will begin more or less in the present. After assessing the recent state of affairs, we will jump back a bit more than a century to the Russo-Japanese War period (1904-1905). From there, we will proceed more or less chronologically through some of the major themes that have characterized those relationships. (It’s not as complicated as it sounds…) This is a discussion-based seminar, and thorough preparation is absolutely necessary. It is difficult for native students.

Notice: This is NOT a lecture course

This is a basic introduction to machine learning. Basic knowledge in Linear Algebra & Calculus is necessary (e.g. the content of Linear Algebra 1 & Calculus 1). We will also do some programming in python. Programming knowledge is not necessary since we will try to learn it together during the course.

Please take my course, it is a lot of fun (really).

Notice: This course only for graduate school students. This is because I would like to keep the number of participants low.  This is a field seminary involving field trips.

Everyone is welcome!

Let’s enjoy discussions about a wide range of topics related to the environment!

This is the first of two courses in analytical mechanics. Analytical mechanics abstracts from Newtonian mechanics and generalizes it to a versatile framework that can be applied to various areas of physics, such as quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and relativity. After a survey of elementary principles, we discuss the core concepts of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, with special emphasis on symmetry principles, followed by some explicit examples.

We would like to welcome all Japanese students at Nagoya University to join the Food for Thought discussion sessions. Food for Thought discussion session is a weekly meeting among Japanese and international students based around a different topic each week. Topics of conversation range from food culture to climate change to around the world travel. The aim of this course is to give Japanese students a chance to improve their English conversation skills in an academic setting. We will practice the skills of argumentation and debate and how to express your own opinion in an effective manner. If you are the kind of person who thinks: “I wish I had more chances to meet international students and practice English in real life instead of just reading this old textbook!”, then this is the chance for you to get some conversation practice! There is no minimum limit of English knowledge required, you can just join in and listen if you want to. Our plan is to bring together students from different majors and backgrounds and to increase interaction between Japanese students and international students. We want to offer students a chance to get to know new people and widen their understanding of the world by looking at complex topics from different points of view. As this is an informal gathering we also encourage you to relax and maybe have a snack while participating.

The Food for Thought discussion sessions are held in Zoom every week on Tuesdays at 18:00-19:00:
