Beginner-level students study Japanese for one and a half years in the Academic Japanese Program, learning basic grammar andvocabulary and technical terms necessary for their academic studies.

YEAR 2

From the second year, while continuing to take Japanese classes, international students also start taking compulsory departmental courses.

YEAR 3

In the third and fourth year, students will choose to major in one of the three research fields – international policy, public policy, or environmental policy – and join a seminar.

YEAR 4

Students complete and write a graduation thesis in Japanese in their fourth year.
