Study in Japan
The Faculty of Arts maintains exchange programs with universities throughout Japan including several of the country’s top public and private institutions. Through these programs, majors in Japanese Studies can study for a semester or, in some cases, even a whole year in Japan and receive academic credit at USYD without paying extra for tuition. Exchange can be done as early as the first semester of the second year so students should begin planning early.
The complete list of universities with whom we maintain exchange programs is available from the International Office. Please enquire with them regarding application procedures, deadline, fees and scholarships. For information on specific universities, please feel free to ask your instructors and check the individual university websites.
