Nagoya University of Foreign Studies57 Takenoyama, Iwasaki, Nisshin, Aicihi 470-0197 Japan

Notes

Nagoya University of Foreign Studies（NUFS）was established in 1988 as the only foreign language university in Central Japan, with the educational philosophy of human education and practical learning. With approximately four thousand students enrolled in ten faculties at four undergraduate schools and the graduate school, NUFS has grown into a mid-scale university. NUFS shares its campus with its sister university – Nagoya University of Arts and Sciences (NUAS) – with the total number of students in the two institutions amounting to seven thousand.

NUFS puts effort into receiving exchange students from overseas partner institutions. Our exchange students come from over a hundred universities around the world. By providing opportunities for our domestic and international students to study together, we hope they will learn from one another and deepen their understanding of foreign cultures as well as their own, in order to foster the ability to think and act with a global mindset.

Through its broad-ranging and rich curriculum, NUFS aims at fostering students with deep expertise and high linguistic pro�ciency, able to engage with the society with empathy and from an international perspective. One of the challenges Japan faces as a rapidly internationalizing nation is how to build a society, whereby Japanese and foreign residents can live harmoniously side by side. Further, fostering human resources with a rich global perspective able to �ourish on the globalized scene is yet another social challenge. With four hundred domestic students participating in study abroad programs at NUFS’s partner institutions every year, NUFS ranks 1st in Central Japan and 6th nation-wide in terms of the number of students sent overseas to study.

The Organization for International Education and Cooperation (OIEC) is the parent organization for the International Institute for Japanese Language Education (IJLE) and the International Of�ce. IJLE offers the Global Japan Studies Course and the Japanese Language Course to exchange students and provides multiple opportunities for hands-on extracurricular activities.

All the academic programs at NUFS are approved by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology

NAGOYA UNIVERSITY OF FOREIGN STUDIES 2

This program for exchange students focuses on acquiring Japanese language skills and gaining knowledge about Japan from a global perspective. It offers a wide variety of classes categorized into the two following courses: Global Japan Studies Course (GJSC) and Japanese Language Course (JLC).

In the Global Japan Studies Course (GJSC), international and domestic students alike deepen their understanding of the global society from two angles – Japan from the World Perspective and the World from Japan’s Perspective – with the purpose of utilizing what they have learned in their future careers.

All classes in the GJSC are English-taught. These classes can be divided into two categories – L1 Classes designed for international students with a native or near-native English pro�ciency level and L2 Classes for domestic students with a less advanced English pro�ciency. The primary target for the L2 Classes are domestic NUFS students who wish to acquire English language skills through academic content. Non-native English speaking exchange students can enroll in L1 or L2 classes after taking into consideration their English pro�ciency.

The GJSC classes can be categorized into two thematic blocks: language and culture, and business and society. These classes offer a wide variety of topics focusing on the historic heritage and traditional culture of Central Japan and the Tokai Region with its center in Nagoya, as well as the technological innovation and corporate management in the local manufacturing industry with Toyota as its most prominent example.

Some of L1 GJSC classes planned to be offered in the academic year of 2019 include: Japanese History, Japanese Literature, Traditional Japanese Culture and Art, Global Perspectives on Japanese Pop Culture, Introduction to Global Business in Japan, The Cultural Side of Toyota Development, Contemporary Japan-China Economic Relations among others.

Examples of L2 GJSC classes include: Tourism English, International Volunteer, World Current Topics, Cross-Cultural Communication.

Besides the June festival, there are over seventy ceremonies and festivals held annually at the shrine.
