hi, i really want to study in japan.....but i have one big problem my japanese isn't good enough to study economics when the course is held in japanese... so i wanted to ask if anyone knows where i can find a university where i can study economics but in english
does anyone know a university where this is possible?
Sure, I believe foreign-funded universities(Catholic) like Jyochi University(Sophia) has all english courses and I know they are not the only one. Look around.
Don't forget ICU. I don't know if they have economics courses, but they do have courses in english, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were some economics courses there.
Also, if you have the money, you can always come to a Japanese language school for a year or so, study Japanese intensively until you're at the level you need to be, and then apply for Japanese uni. I know a lot of people who are doing that. In addition, if you're talking about applying to a Japanese university (as opposed to doing a year-long exchange course or something) I believe you'll have to pass the ryuugakushiken (or something like that; I can't remember the exact name), and there are a lot of schools who have courses designed specifically to help you pass that, and often have advisors to coach you on how you should conduct interviews, etc. If you haven't already, look around on the internet, and see exactly what you'll need to do to get into a Japanese university, and look at what options are available to you.
Here's a website which you should probably look over: http://www.studyjapan.go.jp/en/index.html
Temple Uni Tokyo is the only ALL English uni I know of in Japan. However as stated by others, some schools do offer a few select classes in English. However if you're looking for entire programs, the other schools only offer graduate level programs in all English. Except for TUJ, which is only English.
How about Nanzan university in Nagoya? It has very good Japanese studying progoram as well as international studies. There are classes for Japanese and foreign students together so that you can make Japanese friends too!
