Exchange with Overseas Universities and Research Institutions

Keio University has concluded exchange agreements with over 300 institutions in more than 40 countries and regions worldwide (as of December 2023). Every year, many faculty members, staff, and students visit these partner schools and other universities and research institutions to conduct research and surveys, engaging in active academic exchange in various fields.

Exchange agreements include those at the all-Juku level as well as those at the undergraduate and graduate school levels. SFC has concluded exchange agreements with overseas institutions. (The target agreements are those listed in the link below where the "Contracting Department = 3 Undergraduate Faculties and 2 Graduate Schools of SFC".) These exchange agreements are primarily aimed at exchanging information on academic research, faculty and student exchange, promoting joint research, and invitations to conferences and seminars.

At the Graduate School of Media and Governance (Master's Program and Ph.D. program), international students are also studying through the following Japanese government ODA programs.

This is a high-level human resource development program led by the Indonesian government. This program is designed to educate central and local government officials in Indonesia. Indonesian students spend their first year at a graduate school in their home country and their second year in the Master's Program at the Graduate School of Media and Governance, earning master's degrees from both graduate schools.

This is an international student acceptance project funded by the Japanese government's grant aid, targeting outstanding young government officials, practitioners, and researchers who are expected to be involved in the planning and implementation of social and economic development plans and become leaders of their countries in the 21st century. Through their studies in Japan, they are expected to acquire specialized knowledge, conduct research, and build human networks to actively solve the social and economic development challenges facing their home countries.

The Master's Program at the Graduate School of Media and Governance began accepting international students through this project in the 2007 academic year.
