There are roughly three types of programs: Study abroad (long term), Study abroad (short term), and studying at another domestic university.
In addition, Waseda University offers two types of study abroad programs: study abroad programs based on the agreements between universities, called “University-wide Programs”, which are offered by Center for International Educaton, and study abroad programs based on the agreements between departments, called “Departmenal Programs”, which are offered by the School of Political Science and Economics (SPSE).
For details of the study abroad system itself, please see “Details”. Regarding the credit transfer system, and course registration before/after your study abroad, please continue to refer to the below on this page regardless of the type of program you are attending.
| Program | Characteristics | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Exchange Programs (university-wide) |
These are programs that take you abroad to study under exchange agreements between universities. The duration is usually one academic year, but some programs are only for one semester. A relatively high level of language skills is required from the start, and you will usually take regular courses with local students (EX-R). However, some programs focus on the study of a foreign language (EX-L). | Center for International Education |
| Exchange Programs (departmental) | These are programs that take you abroad to study under exchange agreements between the departments; Faculty of Political Science and Economics (SPSE, Graduate School of Political Science, Graduate School of Economics) and universities outside Japan.

SPSE |
| Customized Study Program | These are programs in which you will participate in the curriculum prepared by the host university for Waseda students. There are mainly two types of programs. One is the programs that you take regular courses from the beginning (CS-R). The other is the programs that, while you mainly focus on studying a foreign language, you will at the same time follow the curriculum prepared based on a certain theme if your level of the foreign language is adequate to do so (CS-L). The duration is one academic year or one semester. | Center for International Education |
| Double Degree Program (university-wide) |
These are programs where you study at a foreign university that offers a double degree curriculum while you are still enrolled at Waseda. If you meet certain requirements, you can graduate with designated degrees from both Waseda and the host university. To complete the double degree program at the host university, you need to show high-level of reading, listening, and conversation skills in a foreign language. The duration of study abroad varies depending on the program. | Center for International Education |
