In this study, the educational systems of the two faculties, the Faculty of Arts, Victoria University of Technology and the Faculty of International Studies, Utsunomiya University were first investigated. At the Faculty of Arts, Victoria University, most full-time students are required to take three majors and two compulsory subjects, majors being groups of subjects which students have to take wholly or partly. At the Faculty of International Studies, Utsunomiya University, students are required to take compulsory subjects and elective subjects, which gives greater freedom for their study.Then the researchers tried to find their characteristics and problems to be solved. At Victoria University, the numbers of subjects students have to lean is restricted, which enables them to acquire deeper knowledge. The combination of lectures and tutorials, which realized in all subjects, helps students to study actively. Preparing for a presentation or a paper. At the same time, the restriction of subjects makes it difficult for students to acquire sufficient scope needed for a broad field like international studies. One solution seems to be the setting up of a new major for the field.On the other hand at Utsunomiya University students can select their subjects rather freely, which has a risk of acquiring only shallow knowledge, disregarding academic disciplines. In order to overcome this weakness, basic subjects like Cultural Anthropology and Comparative Culture can be strengthened by splitting them into smaller classes, and by being combined by their seminars which should be made compulsory. The time of taking Cultural Anthropology and Comparative Culture, and individual culture studies should be changed so that they are taken at different times.Finally Improved teaching plans of Cultural Anthropology, Comparative Culture, and British Cultural Studies were made.

在这项研究中，首先调查了维多利亚科技大学文学院和宇都宫大学国际研究学院这两个学院的教育系统。在维多利亚大学文学院，大多数全日制学生需要修三个专业和两个必修科目，专业是学生必须全部或部分修完的科目组。宇都宫大学国际关系学院要求学生选修必修课和选修课，这给了他们更大的学习自由。然后，研究人员试图找到他们的特点和需要解决的问题。在维多利亚大学，学生必须学习的科目数量是有限的，这使他们能够获得更深入的知识。授课与辅导课相结合，各科均实行，有利于学生主动学习。准备演讲或论文。同时，科目的限制使得学生很难获得像国际研究这样广阔领域所需的足够视野。一个解决方案似乎是为该领域设立一个新的专业。另一方面，宇都宫大学的学生可以相当自由地选择他们的专业，这有可能只获得肤浅的知识，无视学术学科。为了克服这一弱点，像文化人类学和比较文化这样的基础学科可以通过将它们分成小班来加强，并通过应该成为必修课的研讨会来结合起来。文化人类学与比较文化、个体文化研究的学习时间应该改变，在不同的时间进行学习。最后提出了文化人类学、比较文化、英国文化研究的改进教学方案。
