[Japan] Doshisha University Student Exchange Program for Fall 2023

Warm greetings from Doshisha University in Japan!

Doshisha University was established in 1875 by Joseph Hardy Neesima. From the founder himself, the purpose of founding Doshisha Academy was not only to equip students with a general knowledge of the English language but also to produce individuals who are able to put their conscience into practice. Currently, Doshisha University has two main campuses. One is the Imadegawa Campus located in the heart of Kyoto City, north of Kyoto Imperial Palace and adjacent to a noted Buddhist temple, Shokokuji.
