Waseda University offers programs focused on Japanese Sinitic literature, translation studies, comparative intellectual history, and the history of early Japanology. These programs delve into classical Chinese poetry from Japan, the development of Japan Studies, and how foreign perceptions of Japan in the late 19th and early 20th centuries influenced both external views and internal Japanese self-perceptions. Students will explore critical questions about engagement with Japan, both historically and in the present day.
The 'Community Engagement and Contribution' admission pathway is designed for students who wish to actively contribute to local community development. Graduates from this pathway pursue diverse careers in IT, infrastructure, entertainment, education services, government, banking, advertising, trading companies, machinery and automotive manufacturing, telecommunications, real estate, insurance, travel agencies, and non-profit organizations. Many also proceed to graduate studies.
Exact tuition figures are available in the 'Student Handbook' or on the 'Entrance Fees, Tuition, etc.' page of the Waseda University website. A notification of direct debit for tuition fees is sent approximately 10 days before the payment date. Students who miss the initial direct debit date (May 5th/October 5th) will have a second attempt on July 5th/December 5th. Those with deferred fall semester tuition will have spring and fall fees combined for the May 5th debit; if missed, fall tuition is due by June 30th. The payer of tuition fees must reside in Japan.
Tuition fees vary by academic year, with the first year generally being lower due to the absence of an entrance fee. Specific amounts are adjusted annually and are detailed in the 'Student Handbook' or on the Waseda University website.
Tuition fees are typically debited around May 5th for the fall semester and October 5th for the spring semester. A second attempt for payment is made on July 5th and December 5th if the initial debit fails.
Graduates pursue diverse careers in fields such as IT, infrastructure, entertainment, education, government, banking, and manufacturing. Many also choose to continue their studies at the graduate level.
