What would a student’s day at Nanzan University be like in the Modern Japan Program?
Wake up in our brand-new dormitory, grab a coffee, and walk through our leafy campus into our bright airy classrooms. Or slip out of bed at your homestay family’s home, enjoy a traditional Japanese breakfast, and zip to school on Nagoya’s efficient subway system, and wander up to our modern, design-winning campus.
Jump straight into Japanese in your language classes, with four 100-minute classes in the mornings a week. With a maximum of 15 students in each class, you will have lots of interaction, and individual care and attention from our highly experienced Japanese instructors.
You have a range of options for lunch. You can sit down and enjoy a leisurely lunch at cafeterias, pick up freshly prepared traditional lunchboxes (bento) from stalls scattered throughout campus, enjoy yummy freshly baked bread at our bakery, recharge with a coffee from one of our coffee shops, or choose a sandwich from an on-campus convenience store and sit on the grass in the main campus square under cherry blossom trees or pop into Stella and catch up with your new friends.
After lunch, the afternoons are yours to plan – and each afternoon could be entirely different. For a change of pace, you could recharge your batteries in our popular Japanese Arts Courses. Pick up a brush to write calligraphy, try Japanese flower arranging (ikebana) or manga, or explore your inner Zen in Japanese budo martial arts and take a journey deep into Japanese culture.
Focus on improving your Japanese in our many content- and skills-based Japanese Seminar Courses, where you can personalize your Japanese language learning to your own interests and future academic and professional directions.
Leap into Japan’s fascinating history and rich culture with our discussion and lecture Japan Studies Courses. These academically thought-provoking courses are taught in English by highly experienced faculty. You can choose from any of six fields – business and economics, politics and international relations, society and history, language and linguistics, literature, and arts and culture.
If you would like to sit next to local students in regular undergraduate Japanese university classes, take an Open Course, offered in English or Japanese in a number of faculties and across a range of disciplines, to really feel the rhythm of Japanese student life.
Afternoons at Nanzan University offer a wide palette of options for you to design your own study abroad experience. And on Wednesdays and weekends, join our fieldtrips and events and enjoy exploring the rich diversity of central Japan. Every day offers exciting adventures for you at Nanzan University!
