Partner Universities' Programs

These are short-term programs hosted by partner universities that are held for about 2- 4 weeks. A wide variety of programs are available in terms of themes and dates. There are two types of applications: “Programs requiring nomination by Waseda University” which requires prior application to the CIE, and “Programs applied on an individual basis,” in which you apply directly to the partner university.

Common notes for both applications

  • Only full-time regular Waseda students may apply.
  • If you wish to participate in a program that takes place during the academic term at Waseda University, please make sure that it will not affect your coursework at Waseda University. If you are currently studying abroad, be sure to check it will not affect your coursework at your host university before applying.
  • You are responsible for applying to the partner universities directly. Please contact the host university directly for the questions regarding the program.
  • Overseas remittance of participation fees, arrangements for airline tickets and accommodation, and confirmation of whether a visa is required are also need to be handled by the participants themselves. Other procedures necessary for studying abroad should also be confirmed well in advance and carried out as necessary.
  • The programs listed here are partner universities’ own programs. Waseda University is not in any way involved in the content and fees of the programs offered, so we ask students to take full responsibility for any contracts and other related matters at their own risk.
