Armed with two languages, go to the world.
【Flexibly use high-level English + 1 language. 】
In addition to English, you can choose a language from Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Spanish, German and French. Language courses combine English and the chosen language, with 7 to 10 lessons per week and provide comprehensive training. In addition to language learning, students will gain an in-depth understanding of international relations, international cooperation, and the politics, economy, and history of various countries.
【All members are going to study abroad for a long time. Experience local society and culture. 】
Study abroad is included in the second to third year courses. If you choose Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese or Spanish, you will study abroad for two semesters in that corresponding country. If you choose German or French, you will basically study abroad in Showa Boston for 15 weeks, but you can also study abroad in two countries, such as Germany or France.
【Many students pursue two degrees each year. 】
The dual degree program allows students to earn two degrees by studying for three years at Showa Women's University and two years at overseas partner universities (the United States, China, South Korea, and Australia). Although this course is demanding, student growth is remarkable and we produce many graduates each year.
International Student Program to start in 2025.
The curriculum is the same as the current international subjects, but the foreign languages studied are English and Japanese. After enrolling, student will receive intensive Japanese language courses, generous learning support and systematic vocational education, while improving professional level and developing the skills needed in a globalized society.
【Concentrated learning of English + Japanese. 】
It is assumed upon admission that students have a Japanese language proficiency of CEFRB Level 1. In the first year, students will focus on learning English in addition to seven hours of Japanese language classes per week. English and Japanese courses will also continue in the second year and beyond, with the goal of reaching CEFR C1 in both languages by graduation.
(Students who choose the International Student Program can only choose Japanese in addition to English. Other languages (German, French, Chinese, Korean and Spanish) cannot be selected. If they want to choose other languages, students must choose regular courses instead of the International Student Program ( Japanese language level CEFR C1 and EJU score of 270 or higher are required for admission.)
【Optional to study abroad】
Depending on students' needs, they can study abroad at our school's overseas campus Showa Boston, English-speaking overseas partner universities (the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, etc.) or overseas partner universities that offer English courses (Italy, Poland, Romania, etc.).
(Studying abroad at partner universities other than overseas partner universities in English-speaking countries or overseas partner universities that offer English courses is not allowed. (For example, China, South Korea, Vietnam, Spain, France, Germany, etc.) You are also not allowed to participate in double degree programs.)
