ICCS was established as a global research and educational institution in contemporary Chinese studies.
A dual degree program is offered as part of the second term of Aichi University Graduate School's Department of Chinese Studies doctoral program. Provided as part of the ICCS's research and education program, the program allows students to work towards earning two degrees from two graduate schools, one in Japan and one in China. This course requires participation in the China study abroad program.

As the liberal arts university in the Chubu region with the longest tradition, Aichi University graduates the most applicants passing the bar examination of any private Universities in that region. In April 2004, the school used this record of achievement to open the Law School on its renovated Kurumamichi campus. In addition to a convenient location that makes commuting to classes easy, the campus features an engaging learning environment complete in both facilities and content, with law classrooms, a fully stocked Law School library, and a well developed curriculum and instructional staff. The new school is committed to training legal professionals who can contribute to their local communities and corporate legal specialists with an international background.

*Instruction is in Japanese.
