Exchange Programs

GWC has a partnership agreement with 26 universities* in 17 countries, which provides GWC students with opportunities to study abroad.
Students studying at a partner university will be exempt from tuition fees (excluding some partner universities). Credits earned at such partner universities are recognized as credits earned at GWC, which allows students to complete GWC programs in four years.
GWC also receives students from partner universities every year and has many international exchange programs.
*As of September 2024

International Center

Supporting various aspects of international student life, from the application process to adjusting to life in the exchange country or in Japan, the International Center provides a variety of services in close consultation with the Offices of Student Affairs and Academic Affairs.

Detailed information on scholarships and financial aid is available through the Center, which also provides assistance with housing and serves as a base for international students during their time at Gakushuin Women's College.

While offering such practical services to international students, the International Center also organizes a number of cultural activities, trips, and parties throughout the year, including welcoming parties for new students, in an effort to promote a sense of community among the students and encourage the building of friendships not only with each other, but with the larger student body as well.
