Please make the best of our location and our role, so that SILS may be proud of you, and you may be proud of SILS!

Almost all courses in SILS are taught in English. This is because we are an international community, and our policy is to use the language that all of our students from all over the world can use best. Our purpose is not simply “Studying English”, but “Studying with and through English”, with the aim of using it to read, think and express ourselves freely in the world’s international language. This experience in your first semesters will prepare you for your year of overseas study, too. For most of you, study abroad is a necessary element of your course, not a mere option. If you do not think your English level is good enough yet, seek help and it will be given; if your English is already good enough, remember that Japanese is necessary for surviving in Japan and for moving on to higher education in Japan. Learning yet another language is also very important, especially if you hope to study or work in a non-English-speaking country.

Other schools at Waseda are introducing English-based courses, too; please find out about what the other schools can offer – in any language. One big difference at SILS is the Liberal-Arts-based curriculum, in which you do not concentrate on one narrow major, but gain knowledge and analytical skills in a wide range of fields. Please take advantage of these opportunities. Advice will be given on choosing a central topic or topics to study later on, if you wish.

Do make full use of the University’s excellent library system, museums, computer network, sports facilities, health centre, dining rooms, meeting spaces, Student Building and so on. Do not be afraid to ask for information about any part of the University, or about any aspect of your studies or your personal life. SILS offers the most diverse cultural environment in Waseda, with overseas students of many nationalities entering in April and September, as well as students from other institutions on one-year study-abroad programs. Please get to know them, and live and work together for mutual success.

Acquired the abilities to present ideas clearly to others and to think logically when taking in information from foreign literature and papers through the different levels of introductory, intermediate and advanced coursework and senior thesis research.

2. Curriculum Policy

SILS pursues a liberal arts education that emphasizes the fostering of logical thinking and multidimensional perspectives together with polishing fundamental learning through instruction in small classes. SILS offers an environment for imparting strong international sensibilities through such measures as making English the common language of the classroom and school as well as requiring all native Japanese-speaking students to study abroad for one year. The curriculum is further strengthened by the presence of a high proportion of overseas students in the student body: 1. SILS practices a form of liberal arts education that emphasizes the completion of coursework in a wide variety of subject areas. In order to inculcate multi-faceted perspectives, logical thinking, analytical skills and implementation capabilities, SILS eschews a specialized focus on narrow areas and instead makes possible the interdisciplinary study of a wide variety of subjects that offer a comprehensive picture of the state of affairs in the world today. 2. SILS offers courses that allow students of all initial levels of ability to study fundamental topics such as statistics, a second language, and advanced English skills. In addition, subjects deemed indispensable to higher education are offered as first-year seminars in English, with native Japanese-speaking students able to take additional classes in Japanese. 3. In order to stress the importance of lively communication between faculty and students and among students themselves, SILS makes small class size a fundamental principle. Seminar-type classes with a maximum enrollment of 20 students are evenly placed throughout the introductory, intermediate and advanced courses to achieve balance from the first semester through to graduation. In lecture-type classes, Japanese-born students have the opportunity to participate in English with foreign-born classmates and exchange students from top-class partner universities. 4. SILS aims to improve the English abilities of its students through conducting almost all lecture courses in English. For students for whom Japanese is not their native tongue, SILS offers a Japanese language program. In order to develop more international perspectives, native Japanese-speaking students are required to study abroad for one year. SILS has a second language program that allows students to study 22 different languages and a study abroad program that offers choices from among more than 300 universities located in countries throughout the world, not just in English-speaking areas. In addition, SILS offers courses specially designed for students preparing to study abroad in non-English-speaking areas as well as courses that follow up on these study abroad experiences once students have returned to SILS.
