At Keio, we give high importance to the international dimension and cultural diversity.
To this end, Keio offers international students the opportunity to pursue their graduate studies (Master or PhD) fully in English (International Graduate Program, IGP) and start their studies either in April or in September (In many Japanese universities, it is custom that the academic year starts in April, and studies be exclusively pursued in Japanese).
Keio also has a large, worldwide network of top-notch partner universities (click herefor a partial list), thereby giving students the opportunity to enjoy short term stays or internships overseas as part of their curricula at Keio.
Finally, talented students may be given the opportunity to join Keio’s Global Center of Excellence Program as Research Assistants, while pursuing their doctorate (PhD) studies. Benefits may include a monthy stipend, a research grant, full coverage of expenses to attend international conferences or overseas business trips to present research results in joint workshops with partner universites, etc.
