Summer School Exchange: Nihon University JLSP

As the largest university in Japan, Nihon University offers a broad range of fields of study. This private university has many campuses, spread mostly throughout Tokyo and the Kanto region, and is well known for its notable alumni, including CEOs, artists, and politicians. The Japanese Language and Japan Studies Program (JLSP) offers international students the opportunity to spend almost three months in intensive Japanese language courses, at all levels from beginner to advanced, while simultaneously studying Japanese culture and exploring central Tokyo. Along with intensive Japanese and the mandatory culture course (which includes field trips), students can also choose from optional courses meant to increase their Japanese language skills, allowing them to pursue their interests while working with Japanese student volunteers.

JLSP is an intensive Japanese language program, and it is recommended for students who are serious about learning Japanese language. This program is not recommended for students with zero background in the Japanese language studies.

Please note, this is a Summer School Exchange option. In a Summer School Exchange, each host institution allocates a limited number of spots for U of T students, and the Centre for International Experience (CIE) selects students to fill these spaces. You apply through Mobility Online and are selected internally by CIE. If chosen, you will be formally nominated to the host institution for their summer program. Spaces are limited and not guaranteed.

Fees
Nominated students must pay the tuition & incidental fees to U of T by the Summer Payment Deadline. You can find the summer tuition information on the Fees & Payments page. While tuition is paid to U of T, you are still responsible for additional costs as specified by the host institution, such as housing, excursions, and administrative fees. You will also be responsible for the cost of flights, visas (if applicable) and other general cost of living while abroad.

Students will be eligible to apply for the needs-based IE Award.

Transfer Credit
Exchange students must have their courses formally pre-assessed and approved for transfer credit before their departure. CIE Learning Abroad will send instructions on this process once you are selected.
