[Japan] Doshisha University Summer Session (Online Short-Program)

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.

We are pleased to announce that the Center for Japanese Language and Culture will organize “Doshisha Summer Session 2023” in July, 2023. This summer session is a two-week-long program conducted online. The programme focuses on Japanese language, and participants also have an opportunity to deepen their understanding in the culture of Japan and Kyoto. Doshisha students will join some classes to help the participants in classes such as in discussion sessions. Additionally, some events are organized to interact with Doshisha students.

For the details of the 2023 program, please visit the official website: https://cjlc.doshisha.ac.jp/en/short-term_program/summer_session.html
