University’s presentation

・Receive a good education, acquire broader knowledge

SHINSHU UNIVERSITY is a comprehensive university with eight faculties (Arts, Education, Economics, Science, Medicine, Engineering, Agriculture, Textile Science and Technology), eight graduate schools, many research institutions and educational facilities including libraries and a hospital. Academics here are extensive and diverse. We believe that you will be able to feel the captivation and joy of learning.

・No Japanese ability required for attendance

Our program is designed specifically for our partner university students who are interested in Japanese culture, who desire to live abroad, or who are searching for new challenges.

If your Japanese language skill is not good enough to understand major subjects, you are able to take intensive Japanese language classes at Global Education Center. We offer five levels ranging from absolute beginner to advanced.
