Reasons to Choose Reasons to Choose 5GIGA(Global Information and Governance Academic) Program Shonan Fujisawa Campus (SFC) 5 Reasons to Choose KEIO SFC (Shonan Fujisawa Campus) Become Adept at Creating the Future Education at SFC does not follow the mold of being given a problem and learning the answer. The two interdisciplinary faculties at SFC work together to educate students in how to identify problems and develop methods to resolve issues found in modern society. SFC’s state-of-the-art environment enables students to gain the integrated knowledge and skills they need to create the future and engage in learning that is focused on identifying and resolving problems. Students are encouraged to forge ahead with cutting- edge, experimental, and exciting endeavors. This is the SFC culture. Build your own curriculum A student’s passion and drive are never hindered at SFC. The Super Flexible Curriculum allows students to learn in a way they find most suited to their personal themes and goals.

Learning takes many forms at SFC, including numerous group work and fieldwork opportunities.

Surrounded by nature, the campus gives you the luxury of studying while always being aware of the four seasons. Cherry blossoms herald the spring, plush new green signals the start of summer, foliage paints the campus with autumn colors in the fall, and on clear days in the winter, snow-capped Mt. Fuji makes an unforgettable appearance. Students at SFC can enjoy a safe and peaceful campus life not available to students in the city. They relax on the lawn between classes, go jogging around campus, and meditate while watching the ducks in the campus pond.

  • EXCHANGE REPORT ESADE Business School (Barcelona, Spain)
    EXCHANGE REPORT ESADE Business School (Barcelona, Spain) TSENG, Sheng Hong (RMBI, Year4) 2018-19 Fall Monthly Activity Log August 2018 I arrived at Barcelona on the morning of August 23rd alone and spent the first few days exploring the city a bit to get used to the city of Gaudi since the school orientation program started on August 28th and there is time available for me to try traveling alone in the city center of Barcelona with new friends met at Airbnb and hostels. This is the time when Barcelona citizens are still enjoying its warm sun and good weather and it will be a very good idea to go to the beach and enjoy life in late August. There is also a festival during which each district will set up and decorate their streets with handmade dolls that stand at one floor high to demonstrate their pride and sense of belonging to the neighborhood. It was one day late when I found out about the festival so I only saw some remaining dolls ready to be removed. If you want to come early and travel a bit before school officially starts, it’s recommended to research more about the local culture and festivals so that when you join them you will understand more about the history behind. September 2018 The school orientation program officially started from August 28th and would last 2 weeks long. During these two week, I attended the Elementary Level Spanish course with other exchange students. Since I have learned some Spanish before so I wanted to challenge myself, thus joining the harder level.

As the oldest university in the English- speaking world, it can lay claim to nine centuries of continuous existence. There is no clear date of foundation, but teaching existed in Oxford in some form in the late 11th century. Today there are over 22,600 students at Oxford University, including around 11,603 undergraduates and 10,499 postgraduates. Over 40% of the student body – nearly 9,200 students – are citizens of foreign countries. Students come to Oxford from more than 140 countries and territories. Each student is a member of one of the 38 colleges or 6 permanent private halls. The collegiate system is at the heart of the university’s success, giving students and academics the benefits of belonging to both a large, internationally renowned institution and to a small, interdisciplinary academic community. Colleges and halls select and admit undergraduate students, and select graduate students after they are admitted by the university. They provide accommodation, meals, common rooms, libraries, sports and social activities, and pastoral care for their students; and are responsible for students’ tutorial teaching and welfare. Information on Oxford University is available at: www.ox.ac.uk/about Department for Continuing Education The mission of Oxford University Department for Continuing Education (OUDCE) is to make the scholarship of the university accessible to wider audiences.
