Tokyo International University

Japan Studies Program (in English) - ISEP Exchange

At Tokyo International University, you’ll not only have access to Tokyo’s unlimited choice of shopping, entertainment, culture and dining, but you’ll have the luxury of being tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo’s neon-lit streets.  

Students on the Japan studies program will experience and learn about Japan first hand through daily immersion in social, cultural and school life here in Tokyo International University. The course offers intensive Japanese Language courses from beginner level to advanced level, and a wide range of elective courses for a well-rounded understanding of Japan and the Japanese language.

Please see our website for more information.
