Basic
Information

The curriculum of the International Center Courses
focuses on Japan and
East/Southeast Asia as a central theme. They are mainly for
international students from overseas and conducted in English. As
Japanese students can also take these courses, they can provide students
with opportunities for international exchange through study.
There are
also Independent Study courses, in which students may arrange to receive
individual supervision for their research from an academic advisor, and
Keio Economics Professional Career Programme (PCP) courses offered by
the Faculty of Economics.
Independent Study and PCP courses require
submission of documents beforehand, after which we will screen
applicants. The procedure and deadline for application submission are
different from other courses. Please read “Notes” and “Procedures and
Schedule” on p.2-3 carefully so as not to miss the deadline for
application submission.

Independent Study
(International Center) |
|
Basic Information
|
The purpose
of the Independent Study Course is to enable students to conduct
research on a topic of their choice under the guidance and supervision
of an academic staff member of Keio University. This usually involves
meetings between the student and the academic staff member. Students
will be required to submit a substantial piece of written work that
reports the results of their research. Students may also be required to
make an oral presentation on their research.
Registration does not imply course acceptance, as the International
Center reserves the right to screen all applications. Students are
personally responsible for finding an academic advisor at Keio
University who is willing to supervise the proposed research - the
International Center does not provide any assistance in this regard.
*PCP also offers the Independent Study Course (see
PCP course list) for the Fall
semester. Please note that this is different to the Independent Study
Course offered by the International Center (the course content and
registration procedures are entirely different.)
|
|
Open to

This course is offered to

Program
