Important Note

Please note the following:

  1. Students who have applied to the programmes offered the International Center are not allowed to submit applications for those offered by the Faculty of Economics and the Graduate School of Economics until the result of the selection for the International Center programme is announced and vice versa. In addition, students are not allowed to withdraw from the programme offered by the International Center to submit applications for those offered by the Faculty of Economics and the Graduate School of Economics and vice versa.
  2. Even in the case that applicants, who applied to the programme by the Faculty of Economics and the Graduate School of Economics, were not successful in the Application Period I, they are able to re-apply to the programme of the same hosting university during the Application Period II.
  3. Students may apply to programmes of up to three different hosting universities.
  4. Students study abroad for either one year or one semester.
    The application period is different from that of the study abroad programme offered by the International Center. If you apply for the application period II, please note that courses taken in the fall semester at Keio University (including courses taken in the spring semester, if you take “set” courses) could be invalid, which depends on the departure date.
  5. Fourth-year students who wish to study abroad by extending their enrollment period at Keio can do so as long as they apply to the programme before entering the extension period. In other words, students who are already in their extension period are not eligible to apply. (Students may study abroad in their first and second year of their extended enrollment period.)
  6. Students under the student exchange programme offered by the Faculty of Economics and/or the Graduate School of Economics are not eligible to apply to JASSO Student Exchange Support Program (Scholarship for Short-term Study Abroad) and Keio University Scholarship for exchange students (outbound).
  7. Those students who are selected to the University of California program to study for a half a year, they can take classes for one term/semester only. The period of one term/semester is specified by the University of California.
  8. Students who study abroad under the student exchange programmes are obliged to purchase overseas travel insurance specified by Keio University, which covers from departure to return and to be registered with the crisis management support service (between 150,000 to 200,000 yen).
  9. For further information, please see Application Guidelines for the Keio University Student Exchange Programmes on the website of the International Center if there is no information on the webpage ‘Faculty-wide Exchange Programs (OUTBOUND)’ of Keio Student Website.
  10. It is possible to apply to both the Double Degree Program and the March selection for Faculty-wide Exchange Program, but the selection for each will be conducted separately. If you are accepted to the Double Degree Program as your first choice, you may withdraw your application for Faculty-wide Exchange Program.
