[Deadline Extended] [Japan] Online January Session – Sophia University

Warm greetings from Sophia University, Tokyo!

The origin of Sophia University can be traced back to more than 450 years ago when the Jesuit missionary Francis Xavier came to Japan in 1549 to spread Christianity in Japan. In recent years, Sophia University led the move to internationalization in Japan, providing study and educational opportunities that take its increasingly complex world into account. Over the years, the university has created an original global network that allows researchers and students from overseas to teach and study in Japan, and Japanese researchers and students to do the same abroad. Sophia University provides an excellent educational environment for the era of internationalization, cultivating “Men and Women for Others, with Others” who can excel on the global stage.

We are pleased to inform you that the Application for Sophia University Online January Session is now open for Universitas Gadjah Mada students.
