Useful Information 


Local Overview
Set in the bustling city of Tokyo, the University’s hilltop campus is a welcome oasis and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The University sits just a short distance from the world-famous Tokyo neighbourhoods of Harajuku and Shibuya. The sights, smells, boutiques and food stalls in Shinjuku station, the world’s busiest train station, are only a short walk from the university. Tokyo is the world’s most populous greater metropolitan area, and one of the most influential cities in the global economy. Life in Tokyo is fast-paced, vibrant and steeped in culture. Students will find limitless activities to do and sites to see while living and studying in Japan’s capital.
 
Host institution
Though set in the middle of bustling Tokyo, this university in Gotanda feels like a sanctuary. The university is in the heart of it all, yet it offers a peaceful escape from the city’s hustle and bustle.

With an internationally-focused curriculum, international students are enthusiastically welcomed by bilingual Japanese students and professors. The local university students are globally-minded, warm, welcoming, and eager to learn from and share with international students. The program is designed so that interpersonal connections between Japanese and CISaustralia students can easily be made. CIS students have the opportunity to learn the language, history and culture first-hand in an incredible setting.

Accommodation 
Participants on this program will stay in single, apartment-style rooms. Bedrooms are small, very traditional Japanese style hotel rooms (click to view images).

How to Apply

Planning early is the best way to ensure you will get the most out of your time abroad.

It is important that you understand the requirements and structure of your course (and major/s) to ensure that you select overseas programs that can transfer back to your degree. To help understand your course structure, you should consult the Faculty Handbook published in the year in which you commenced your course (eg. if you began a Bachelor of Commerce in 2016, you should look at the Business School Undergraduate Handbook from 2016). Pre-2017 Handbooks can be found in the handbook archive.

Example application timeline

1. Select your program > 2. Apply for academic credit > 3. Complete Sydney Abroad application > 4. Apply to host university > 5. Receive academic approval & host acceptance (April/May) > 6. Apply for OS HELP (if eligible), book flights & visa > 7. Fly safe!

Receiving your academic credit approval can take up to 8 weeks – so it’s very important that you submit your application for academic credit to your faculty as soon as soon as you have selected your program of choice.





Note: The Sydney Abroad application requires that you upload a copy of your current passport and the outcome of your academic credit request. If you do not have these available to you now you can save your application and upload them later.
