Global Japanese Studies (English Track) Meiji University

Overview

The Global Japanese Studies (English Track) program at Meiji University emphasizes the study of the Japanese language for both Japanese and international students. This is especially important for international students when acquiring a deeper understanding of Japan's culture and society.

We aim to provide a deep understanding of Japanese culture and social structure, as well as practical English and Japanese language skills, which will enable students to effectively express their opinions and convey information.
