Year-Long Study in Japan: Business, Culture and Language Program

This program is designed for undergraduate students from partner universities who wish not only to improve their Japanese language skills and to gain a deeper understanding of Japanese business, culture, and history but also to attend regular academic classes. From September to December, the business and culture/history classes offered are taught in English. From January to February, students are required to take Japanese Language classes (7 week Winter Term) to improve their language skills in preparation for taking regular classes. From April to August, participants will be assigned to an appropriate academic department, as well as a suitable advisory professor, based on their field of study (as indicated in participants’ Study Plan) and enroll in regular classes (conducted in Japanese) alongside full-time Senshu University students. During that time, participants will also have the option* to continue taking Japanese language classes (depending on their level of Japanese and/or at the recommendation of their advisory professor). There is a fee for takin Japanese Language and Culture programs. * Studentsmustcontinue to take the JLC (Spring and Summer) course if they are unable to complete J3 class or higher at the Winter JLC, or if their Japanese language proficiency is below JLPT N3.

Throughout the program, Senshu offers many opportunities to participate in activities with Japanese students on campus.
