Unique Study-Abroad Programs
| In addition to academic exchange agreements, the university
provides many kinds of shorter study-abroad programs. Currently, two programs
are popular: one is overseas internship, and the other is teaching Japanese
language to non-native speakers of Japanese. The internship is available
either in Singapore or Britain. Students who join the program experience
jobs first-hand in a variety of workplaces from one to three months. The
aspirants for Japanese teachers, on the other hand, have chances to try
their skills in China or Singapore. All of the programs are considered
as elective courses back in Kyorin University, and therefore the students
can take these courses for credit. |

This is one of the affiliates of Kyorin University. It takes charge of
various administrative affairs concerning both international students studying
at Kyorin and Kyorin students studying abroad. The staff not only keeps
a number of updated records of overseas academic institutions, but it also
sets up various activities for long-term international students studying
in Japan. In order to welcome the students to Japan, the staff holds an
annual party at the beginning of each academic year on the Hachioji campus.
There the overseas students are given the opportunity to make friends with
Japanese students through games and cultural exchange. This is the gateway
through which they build confidence in their Japanese skills and make real
contact with the Japanese culture.
