2023 Courses: |
Please note that most of the courses will be held in-person this year.
● Our spring semester runs from April to July, and the following International Center Courses offered during the latter half of spring semester (from late May to July) are open to summer program students. ● As those courses are not just for summer program students, but also for our local Keio students and exchange students, some courses have limits on the number of students. Places for those capped courses are allocated either by a lottery, or by the lecturer. *Click here and refer to the "Courses with student's number limit" section for a list of capped courses to be updated from time to time. (Note: Courses listed on the document above may include full-semester spring courses starting from early April which summer program students cannot take.) *Students are required to take a minimum of 4 courses. (*up to 8 courses maximum)
