Exchange programs from Partner institutions

Exchange Program

Musashi University is located close to the center of Tokyo. Our lush and tranquil campus offers an environment where you can focus on your studies. You can enjoy a fulfilling student life in a warm, homely atmosphere.
Musashi University exchange programs do not set Japanese skill requirements, so you can start studying abroad regardless of your Japanese background. Additionally, students can choose classes in a wide range of fields according to their interests and goals, allowing them to deepen their learning independently.
International students with high Japanese proficiency can also take the same classes as regular students. Through exchanges in Japanese, you can deepen your professional learning and nurture friendships. Additionally, the campus is an ideal venue for international exchange. In a warm, homey atmosphere, you can naturally interact with international students and Japanese students to understand each other's cultures and values.
Such an environment should provide valuable experiences that broaden your global perspective and deepen your understanding of different cultures.
