Programs for Exchange Students at Keio University
Keio University welcomes international exchange students from our partner universities.
University-wide Exchange Program
We offer three unique programs for undergraduate and graduate exchange students from our partners universities.
Students may choose to attend one of the following programs for a semester or a year as exchange students at Keio University.
Keio International Program (KIP)
This comprehensive program is intended to be open to undergraduate and master's graduate students. In this program, students can study about Japan and East/Southeast Asia by taking English-taught courses offered by the International Center.
In addition, KIP students may choose to take up to four (4) Japanese language courses each semester. KIP students with advanced Japanese proficiency may also take undergraduate/graduate school courses in Japanese offered by faculties open to exchange students.
From 2025 Spring incoming admission and later,"KIP @ SFC" (Keio International Program (KIP) @Shonan Fujisawa Campus (SFC))option is available for KIP students.

Japanese Language Program (JLP)
This language program offered by the Center for Japanese Studies is intended to be open to Japanese Language learners. The ultimate goal of this program is for students to attain the maximum level of proficiency possible within a short period of time. Accordingly, students in this program are required to spend most of their time studying Japanese during the semester.
Students in the JLP may also choose to take International Center Courses taught in English as optional subjects.
Research Program (RP)
This program is intended for only master's degree students who wish to take graduate-level courses through affiliation with a Graduate School of Keio University.
Students must be enrolled in a graduate school (or equivalent) at their home institution. If you are a Ph.D. student and wish to apply, please contact us in advance since it may be difficult to accommodate a Ph.D. student. Students must receive approval from the graduate school for their admission to the program as research program students. Student's campus will be one of the six Keio campuses and will depend on the Graduate School the student belong to.
Faculty-level Exchange Program
In addition to the university-wide exchange programs above, the Faculty/Graduate School of Economics and the Graduate School of Business and Commerce welcome international students based on their own exchange agreements with their partners.Campus Information
