Exchange Program with Partner Universites

Shizuoka University accepts exchange students from partner universities based upon our exchange agreements. The exchange students are under obligation to take classes for more than 10 hours per week. (This means that they must take more than 7 classes per week.) They may choose classes related to their study interests depending on the proficiency of the language which the classes are conducted by.
The Organization for International Collaboration offers Japanese language classes for exchange students. At the beginning of every semester, the center conducts a placement test of proficiency in Japanese to assess their language ability. Japanese classes of all levels are provided for students. Level 1 is beginner, level 2 is elementary, level 3 is lower – intermediate, level 4 is upper – intermediate and level 5 is advanced. The students who are equal to or higher than level 5, are recommended to take other classes in their faculty rather than Japanese language courses.
The study schedule of students will be confirmed after consulting with their supervisors.
The Organization for International Collaboration, along with the Japanese language classes, provides various activities such as home stay programs, get-togethers with Japanese students, field trips, in order to support international students in adjusting smoothly to Japanese society.
