The Korean language course offers a one-year study abroad program which takes place across the second semester of the first year and the first semester of the second year.
The program aims to raise the profile of Korea’s beautiful, standardized language.
To realize this goal students are dispatched to universities which specialize in Korea’s standardized language in and around Seoul.
In principle, Korean classes are taken in a Language Center at the host university.
However, students who have demonstrated a mastery of the language are allowed to enroll in undergraduate classes at participating university’s discretion.
Students who study abroad through the program will be housed in a secure, private dormitory managed by the university.
As an additional safety precaution, our university provides a support service that enables students to receive telephone consultations in Japanese 24 hours a day.

Since students study abroad about five months after enrolling, there are seven Korean classes per week so that students can learn Korean intensively in the first semester of their first year.
During this time, students also acquire basic academic skills. Classes are streamed according to placement tests, and learner-centered classes are targeted to meet the needs of students at each level.
The universities produce and provide their own learning materials. In addition, students are exposed to a variety of multimodal learning materials such as digital materials which strengthen students’ ICT skills. Moreover, the Korean teaching staff work together to develop teaching materials that reflect the latest Korean language education methods.

To build on the language skills developed in Korea and retain those abilities upon returning to Japan, teachers and students conduct classes exclusively in Korean.
As an example of the efficacy of the program, students have successfully attained TOPIK 6 results in less than 18 months of beginning their studies at our university.
