Eligibility

   
    To be qualified as an exchange student at Keio University, you must meet the following requirements:
   
   

Japanese Language Requirement

   
    There is no Japanese proficiency required to apply for exchange students at Keio University. Students are required to take a Japanese language placement test by the Center for Japanese Studies in the beginning of each semester in order for them to register for the appropriate learning level of Japanese language courses.    
   

Financial Requirement and Scholarships

   
    Be sure to be able to financially support yourself during the period of study at Keio. The average cost of living expense is JPY 120,000/month if you live in university-subsidized student housing. Finding a scholarship in Japan is very difficult. Plan for financial supports before arrival. Scholarships such as JASSO are available but are not guaranteed for all the exchange students since the number of recipient is very limited. Those who would like to apply for the JASSO scholarship, please submit the designated application documents along with the student exchange applications. You cannot apply directly for the JASSO scholarship.
