People have different reasons for studying abroad. However, simple reasons such as "I want to experience living abroad" or "I just want to go" will waste your valuable study abroad experience. Also, studying abroad at partner and accredited schools is mainly about "studying specialized subjects in English or a second foreign language and earning credits," so it is not just about studying abroad for language study. Make sure you clarify what you want to gain from studying abroad and your own purpose for studying abroad to make your study abroad experience meaningful.

When deciding where to study abroad, you may consider not only the application requirements and whether the major or subject you want to study is offered, but also the size of the university, the number of students, the university's unique programs, the climate, cultural environment, location, and living environment. At the International Center, you can view return reports from people who have studied abroad. It is also important to have the ability to access the university's website and get the latest information.

Various curricula are set by the host university. Exchange students are basically classified as "Non-Degree Students" or "Visiting Students" who are not aiming to obtain a degree, and are often not affiliated with a specific faculty. They can take courses other than those related to their faculty at our university. However, flexibility is required because priority is given to current students who are aiming to obtain a degree, and there are some courses that exchange students cannot take. In order to clarify what you want to study at which university and avoid a study abroad experience that is not what you expected, it is important to do thorough research and choose a university that suits you, not just one that is well-known. In some countries, certain majors are not offered at the undergraduate level (for example, in the United States and South Korea, law is offered at master's level or above at law schools), so be careful.

Although it depends on the destination and individual lifestyle, the amount of money required for a one-year stay is about 2.5 million yen for an exchange program (in an English-speaking country) (if tuition fees are waived at the destination). This includes accommodation, food, and textbooks, as well as insurance (specified by the destination and our university), round-trip airfare, etc. However, this amount may increase or decrease depending on the study area, accommodation at the destination (dormitory, apartment), how you spend your long vacation, etc., so please use this as a guideline. In addition, in some countries, you may be required to submit an English deposit transaction certificate (UK) or an English bank balance certificate (US) to prove the above expenses at the time of application to the destination after passing the internal selection process, so it is necessary to have the necessary funds prepared after passing the internal selection process.

TOEFL iBT and IELTS are tests for non-native English speakers to prove their English proficiency, mainly for the purpose of studying or moving abroad. TOEFL iBT and IELTS each have their own characteristics in the style of the test. If you are taking the test for the first time, please consider carefully which one suits you best. There are two types of IELTS: regular IELTS and IELTS for UK Visas and Immigration (hereinafter referred to as IELTS for UKVI). Some of our UK partner universities require IELTS for UKVI. IELTS for UKVI can only be taken at the Tokyo and Osaka venues run by the British Council, so please check in advance. In addition, when taking either IELTS test, please take the Academic version for studying abroad out of Academic and General.

TOEIC or TOEFL ITP scores cannot be used to apply to study abroad at our partner or accredited universities.

Either one is fine. However, if you are planning to study in the UK, you will need an IELTS score, so we recommend that anyone who is even slightly considering studying in the UK take the IELTS test.

＜TOEFL iBT＞
Your score will be available to check online from 10 days after the test date, and your official score report will be sent to you approximately 13 days after the test date.

*The score announcement date may be changed due to system problems or reasons related to the test administering organization (ETS, Eiken Test Foundation, British Council, etc.), so please take the test with plenty of time to spare.

For internal applications, we can accept online scores even if you do not have official transcripts (TOEFL iBT: Score Report/IELTS: Test Report Form). However, you must submit official transcripts before the results are announced.

When applying to partner or accredited universities for second semester departures, it is desirable for first-year students to have a GPA of 2.4 or higher up until the first semester, and the selection process will take into account the GPA up until the first semester. Please note that if you are selected as a candidate after the selection process and do not meet the application qualifications of the partner university at the end of your first year, your candidacy will be cancelled.

The period of study abroad cannot be extended or shortened once it has been applied for. Please make sure to thoroughly plan your study abroad period before applying.
