At Waseda University we have a doctrine called the "Waseda University Doctrine" which refers to the "Cultivation of Good Citizenship". Today, this doctrine has been reconstituted into the more contemporary theme of "Cultivating Global Citizens". The philosophy behind "Cultivating Global Citizens" is one emphasizing contributing to the symbiotic relationship between humanity and the earth through cultivating human beings who have global vision, are widely learned and who dare to challenge the difficult problems we face today. The study abroad experience contributes significantly to the cultivation of adequate human resources as required by the contemporary society.
The Center for International Education offers the following services to provide as much study abroad opportunities as possible.
1. To improve the studying abroad experience
- Development of study abroad programs -
The number of students who study abroad is increasing every year (Approximately 770 Waseda university students are going to study abroad in 2009). The students needs are diverse and the CIE is dedicated to the development of study abroad programs with the cooperation of partner universities (78 countries, 601 universities, as of December, 2008); in order to meet the various needs of students when studying abroad.
2. Making the Right Choice.
A note for students who are considering studying abroad.
- Information services on studying abroad -
Research is essential for you to realize your objectives of studying abroad. The CIE strives to support students, providing various services-- the Study Abroad Fair twice a year (spring and autumn), publication of the "Guide to Study Abroad Programs for Waseda Students", reference service in the Information Room, and individual consultation.
3. For students who apply to Waseda University Studying Abroad Program
- Screening at Waseda University -
The CIE offers a variety of study abroad programs. Unfortunately, as availability of each program is limited, not all students will be able to study at the university that they choose. The center conducts a screening of all students applying for Waseda study abroad programs at Waseda University. The CIE hopes you will make every effort to successfully go through the screening at Waseda as it is an important part of preparing to studying abroad.
4. For nominees - Assistance before studying abroad -
The CIE assists nominees with the paperwork required before studying abroad- facilitating the program/visa application procedures. However, not all the procedures are assisted by the CIE; basically, you must be responsible for your application procedures.
5. For successful students - Assistance before/during studying abroad -
The center holds a pre-departure orientation for successful candidates, which provides important information about living overseas and what you should be aware of. Still, it is important to be aware that you are the one who can deal with unexpected problems while abroad but the CIE will provide assistance to solve the problems, if necessary. |
