Partner Universities' Programs

These are short-term programs hosted by partner universities, lasting about two to four weeks. A wide variety of programs are available in terms of themes and dates. There are two types: for programs requiring nomination from Waseda University, you must first apply to the CIE first, and for programs with individual application, you apply directly to the partner university.

Important information for both applications

  • Only full-time regular Waseda students may apply.
  • If you wish to participate in a program during Waseda’s academic term, make sure that it will not affect your coursework at Waseda University. If you are currently studying abroad, check that joining this program will not interfere with your coursework at your host university before applying.
  • You are responsible for applying directly to the partner university. Please contact the university directly for the program.
  • You must handle all steps yourself. This includes overseas remittance of participation fees, arranging airline tickets and accommodation, and confirmation of whether a visa is required. Any other procedures should also be confirmed and completed well in advance as necessary.
  • These programs are arranged by partner universities themselves. Waseda University is not in any way involved in the program content or fees. , so we ask students to take full responsibility for any contracts and other related matters.

These programs require students to apply to Waseda before applying to the partner university. There are programs that can be credited as CIE courses, and others that cannot.
