Study Abroad
Keio University Students in Overseas
Keio University has concluded agreements on university-endorsed student exchange programs with approximately 100 overseas partner institutions. These programs offer students an opportunity to study for 1 year at any one of the partner institutions. Through international exchange of students, Keio University expects students to develop an international awareness and broaden their intellectual horizon. Each year, approximately 100 Keio University students (including about 30 SFC students) participate in the programs.
Keio University Partner Institutions
In addition, approximately 100 Keio University students go abroad to study either on scholarships or at their own expense.
Credits earned abroad may be used as credits required for graduation, which enable students to complete their study without extending their period of stay at the university.
