Develop human resources capable of being active in the global field at home and abroad
BPGI is a program to develop human resources capable of solving global issues including global environmental changes and the world’s population and food problems through a broad range of knowledge.
What is BPGI?
The Bachelor’s Program in Global Issues at the University of Tsukuba is more than a traditional academic program. This program not only prepares students for future careers but also allows them to make a meaningful contribution to society. Join the Bachelor’s Program in Global Issues to gain the knowledge, skills, and experience to become a leader in global sustainability.
Why BPGI?
Think of it as a way to learn how to fix “wicked” problems. With a strong focus on Project-Based Learning (PBL), students gain hands-on experience tackling real-world sustainability challenges, SDGs, and environmental issues. In addition, you will develop a strong understanding of how all problems are interrelated and how an interdisciplinary approach is indelible to solving them.
What are contemporary global issues?
Global Issues are complicated and modern problems that affect the whole world. For example, even the bread we have for breakfast can show issues like the high cost of energy needed to bring wheat from faraway places, how people involved in making and delivering our food are treated, how much waste we create, and the unequal distribution of food around the world.
What skills will I learn?
You will develop practical skills in project management, collaboration, and problem-solving by working on projects in international, interdisciplinary teams.
