The School of International Studies was opened in April 2004 and is Waseda University’s 11th faculty. Since roughly 30% of SILS students are overseas students, and because classes and lectures are conducted in English, the faculty has a very international flair. Students who have Japanese as mother tongue are required to study abroad for a year.
Since the faculty is still new we offer interested companies as well as organizations to visit the faculty to get to know it better. Every year many companies come and hold information sessions for SILS students. We also develop internship programs with various companies exclusively for SILS students.
If you have any interest in the above activities, please contact us.([email protected])
It is possible to enter Waseda University’s Graduate Schools through intramural selection recommendation.
Application period, number of successful applicants and application procedures depend on each department, so please prepare accordingly. Please refer to the International Admissions Office Website for details.
There are generally two job hunting procedures: Either through regular entry or entry through school recommendation.
Regular entry, as the name indicates, is when students apply individually to each company and is the most common method for job application in Japan. On the other hand, job application through school recommendation is when a formal university recommendation letter with the dean’s seal accompanies the application. Until now, this recommendation system has mainly applied to Science and Technology students.
