Center for International EducationWaseda University

Welcome to the Center for International Education (CIE)!

The CIE believes student mobility is a cornerstone of internationalization efforts. The CIE coordinates and advises students on participation in a wide variety of study abroad programs from every aspect for both incoming international students and Waseda students. The CIE also supports students in integrating study abroad into their academic plan. Waseda has mutual agreements with universities in Asia, Central South America, Europe, Africa, North America, and Oceania. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the CIE demonstrated global connectedness by leveraging virtual learning opportunities through newly developed collaborative courses.

Early preparation and careful planning are the keys to a successful study abroad experience. We recommend that students reach out to the CIE office for guidance. Also, there are comprehensive study abroad booklets published by the CIE which provide the detailed, easy-to-follow pre-departure procedures that students need to take.

The CIE offers distinctive study abroad programs. One year or one semester Regular Academic Programs under exchange programs with affiliated universities are for students to take credit-based regular courses offered by host or partner universities with local students. Additionally, there are Customized Study Programs, Double Degree Programs, Short-term Programs, and so on. Each program has different deadlines and requirements. Students can browse books and brochures related to these programs at the Waseda Global Gate located in Building No. 22. Students can ask questions and seek consultation with the on-site staff members.

We encourage students to visit on-campus study abroad fairs, usually held in April and in October. The CIE is committed to enhancing the curriculum for students in undergraduate and graduate schools, and to sharing resources for various funding opportunities.

The CIE office is open to all, and we invite students to reach out to us.

Best wishes,
