My Best Memories

by: Abby Kong - United StatesProgram: IES Abroad Nagoya Direct Enrollment – Nanzan University

I had the time of my life while abroad, and it’s all because of IES Abroad. Going into college, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to study abroad and achieve my goals of traveling while abroad, but through my IES Program I was able to participate in an abroad program that changed my life. Not only did I make lifelong friends in my program and school, but I got to go on field trips provided by the program to explore the culture and experiences of locals and learn about the rich history of Japan. I got to live with a host family who has become real family, and every day I woke up so excited to be in Japan. I only wish I had more time to spend here. I got to explore different cities, try so many new foods, and even met some really cool animals like capybaras and deer!

A Guide to Studying Abroad in Nagoya

Subjects & Courses

Nagoya is home to a handful of the top institutions of higher learning in Japan (among them Nagoya University, Nanzan University, and Nagoya Institute of Technology). While some English-taught classes may be available at these local colleges, it is more generally expected that you have a passable command of the Japanese language in order to gain access to such full enrollment while you study abroad in Nagoya.

An alternative option is to apply through a study abroad program in Nagoya to attend a smaller international or satellite school, where classes are specifically designed for foreign students. If you are not adept in the Japanese language, then studying with local faculty at one of these small academic institutions is a good way to benefit from English-taught classes which can provide you a valuable context to understanding your new temporary home.

Regardless of where you study abroad in Nagoya, some of the most popular subjects among international students in the city tend to include Asian studies, history, international business, philosophy, and Japanese language. Your course options will be more limited if you cannot speak Japanese, so if you want the full experience while you study abroad in Nagoya, then start brushing up on your language prowess today!
