Gakushuin University Exchange Program

Gakushuin University (GU) began lectures in 1847. The small-group classes at GU and the enclosure of the entire university within a single campus ensures that students and professors remain in close contact with each other, further enhancing the learning environment for students.

Area of Study

Students will have the opportunity to take Japanese language courses, but also a selection of academic courses offered in English.

Students will be required to meet one of the following conditions regarding Japanese language ability:

• have studied Japanese for 2 years or more before coming to GU;
• have passed an N4 or higher level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test or to demonstrate an equivalent level of Japanese proficiency; or
• participate in the Japanese Language Preparatory Course (JLPC), on-line Japanese language training course offered by GU for six months prior to the start of the exchange program.
