Utveksling i
Japan, nær Tokyo
Dette notatet viser muligheter for utveksling nær Tokyo i Japan, særlig rettet mot Indøk-studenter ved NTNU.
FORORD
Dette notatets hensikt er å vise muligheter for utveksling i Tokyo-området av Japan. Til tross
for manglende støtte fra tidligere områdeansvarlig ved utenlandsseksjonen ved NTNU, og til
tider fraråding, så kan studenter ved Industriell Økonomi og Teknologiledelse dra på
utveksling til Japan. En stor takk for at dette har vært mulig, skal rettes til Siri Natvig,
førstekonsulent og ansvarlig for utveksling ved institutt for IØT.
Dette notatet er forfattet av, Anders Tanum, som våren 2012 er på utveksling i nær tilknytning
til Tokyo, Japan. Er da på utveksling som 4. klassing (gamle regler), men dette notatet tar
hensyn til det faktum at utvekslingen nå skal forekomme i 3. klasse. Undertegnede har selv
stått for all organisering av utvekslingsoppholdet, som har omfattet flere hundre timers arbeid,
inkludert google-søk og mange timer Skype-samtaler med potensielle universiteter. Et håp er
at dette kan være til nytte for fremtidige interessenter. Undertegnede hadde også et tre
måneder langt opphold i Tokyo i forkant av utvekslingsopphold, med den hensikt å verifisere
informasjon, samt skape et kontaktnettverk. For mer informasjon vises det til undertegnedes
webside www.anderstanum.com.
Det er ellers viktig å påpeke at dette notatet ikke utelukker at det kan finnes andre muligheter i
dette området, samtidig som resten av Japan også har flere muligheter å by på.
Ellers er dette 1. versjon av notatet, og det vil kanskje bli oppdatert senere dersom dette blir
nødvendig. Versjonen er altså skrevet mens undertegnede er på utveksling.

INNLEDNING
Utveksling er en opplevelse for livet. Du blir kjent med et nytt lands språk og kultur, får nye
perspektiver på ditt eget land og blir utfordret utenfor din komfortsone. Samtidig viser du at
du er selvstendig, tar initiativ og er åpen for nye impulser. For mange på Indøk blir et
utvekslingsopphold sett på som obligatorisk, og dette er ikke uten grunn. Det er vanskelig å
forklare alt man lærer om både seg selv og andre på perioden i utlandet. Man får opplevelser
for livet og et nettverk på tvers av nasjoner. Dette notatet vil også trekke frem potensielle
utvekslingsmuligheter for andre studieprogram ved NTNU, særlig der fagene ikke er helt
perfekt for Indøk.
NTNU har mange avtaler med utenlandske universiteter. Noen er mer populære enn andre og
medfører “kolonier” ved utenlandske universiteter. I dagens samfunn er det ikke negativt å
skille seg litt ut. Samtidig vet vi at verdens hovedutvikling nå skjer i Asia. I Asia er det mange
studiemuligheter, med sine 54 land og over 60 % av verdens befolkning. Dette notatet skal
vise muligheter i Japan, men hvorfor velges Japan fremfor Kina? Kina har høyest utvikling i
Asia nå og India utvikler seg også hurtig. Imidlertid har Japan, med sin historie og
tilpasningsevne, allerede gått denne veien for å ta igjen Vesten. På denne måten så blir Japan
ofte betraktet som den vestlige nasjonen i Asia, etter adopsjon og forbedring av vestlig kultur.
Japan vet derfor hvordan man gjør dette og er kjent for å være flinke på forretninger, særlig
med dagens behov for høy teknologi og effektivisering. Det sies også at Japan er blant de mer
spesielle kulturene, og at man med en forståelse for japanere derfor ligger godt an til å forstå
mange andre kulturer i Asia også. Dette er noen faktorer som er med på å gjøre Japan veldig
interessant som reisemål for utveksling. Ellers er Tokyos metropolområde verdens største,
med sine over 35 mill innbyggere på et område med et middels stort norsk fylke. Det er i
Tokyo business skjer og det er rundt Tokyo at alt annet skjer, selv om byen ikke alltid er like
representativ som standard for japansk kultur.
Utfordringer knyttet til utveksling i Japan er imidlertid mange, dersom man ikke kommer inn
under de få linjene som passer med de få avtalene NTNU har. Disse avtalene er veldig bra,
men krever fleksibilitet og spesifikke tekniske studieprogram. Notatet vil imidlertid også
nevne disse kort. Manglende fungerende avtaler er hovedgrunnen til at man som Indøkstudent blir frarådet av utenlandsseksjonen. Man må ordne alt på egen hånd, fra å finne
universitetene til å forstå seg på deres utdanningsopplegg. Språkbarrieren er også en stor
utfordring, dersom man ikke tilfeldigvis snakker japansk flytende. Løsningen er da å finne
universiteter som tilbyr både administrasjon og fag på engelsk, noe som skaper tydelige
begrensninger siden fagkombinasjonen også må passe overens. I tillegg må man finne
universitetene som tar inn studenter utenfor partnerskap/avtaler om utveksling med andre
universiteter. I Norge er både UiO og NHH mye bedre på slike avtaler i disse områdene,
sammenlignet med NTNU. Disse utfordringene er det som skaper begrensninger i
mulighetene for Indøk-studenter i området rundt Tokyo, til tross for Japan har rundt 750
universiteter.

Ellers er det noen andre praktiske detaljer man bør tenke på. Som notatet senere vil komme
tilbake til, så er GMAT-test (www.mba.com) en nødvendighet på noen av mulighetene. Denne
testen sees på som vanskelig for mange, men kan mestres godt med noen ukers forberedelser.
Ta kontakt dersom du trenger informasjon og råd rundt denne testen. TOEFL-test er
selvfølgelig også nødvendig, men den er ingen særlig utfordring for de fleste nordmenn.
Finansiering er også noe man bør se på. Tokyo er blant verdens dyreste byer, og universitetsutdanning koster i mange tilfeller mye. Imidlertid skal det går greit å få støtte til skolepenger
fra Lånekassen, og en slik unik opplevelse/erfaring er verdt kostnadene. Det går også fint an å
søke om stipend fra for eksempel The Scandinavia-Japan Sasakawa Foundation.
Notatet vil nå gå videre til først å presentere Sophia University, som ligger sentralt i Tokyo.
Dette er den beste muligheten til å oppleve både et utrolig bra universitet og Tokyo, samtidig
som man får fagene man trenger. Videre vil notatet presentere undertegnedes
utvekslingslokasjon, International University of Japan, før den til slutt vil ta for seg andre
muligheter som man kan se litt nøyere på. For disse mulighetene, vil det være en oversikt som
viser hvorfor de nevnte universitetene ikke ble valgt.
Kriteriene som stilles til universitetene er altså lokasjon i nær tilknytning til Tokyo,
engelskspråklig undervisning, passende fag for Indøk, samt at man har mulighet til å
komme inn. Og som nevnt tidligere, kan det også finnes andre uoppdagede muligheter i
regionen.

UNIVERSITETER
Nedenfor er en presentasjon av noen gode muligheter for utveksling for Indøk-studenter.
Dataene er hentet i 2010-2011 og kan i senere tid være endret/oppdatert. Dette gjelder også
krav og premisser for søkere.
Sophia University
Sophia University er et ledende japansk universitet som ble etablert i 1913 og har rundt 11000
studenter. Det er et privat katolsk kristent universitet, men det er ikke noe man skal bli preget
av i hverdagen om man ikke ønsker det. NTNU har ingen avtale med dette universitetet og
mulighetene ligger derfor i å søke som en “Non-Degree”-student, slik det er spesifisert på
deres hjemmesider. De har et stort utvalg fag som er på engelsk som man da kan velge
mellom. Henvendelse for disse programmene er direkte til Admissions Office ([email protected]). Det kan til tider være lurt å sende en henvendelse gjennom
utenlandsseksjonen, da en slik offisiell henvendelse blir prioritert.
Webside: www.sophia.ac.jp/eng
Et valg man da står ovenfor er enten “Graduate Program in Global Studies” (Master-nivå)
eller “Undergradate Program in Faculty of Liberal Arts” (Bachelor-nivå), da begge disse er
Non-Degree programmer.
Den enkleste muligheten, og mest tilgjengelige, for 3. klassinger vil være Undergraduateprogrammet. Undergraduate-programmet har et vårsemester (tidlig i april – sent i juli) og et
høstsemester (sent i september – tidlig i februar), med typiske søknadsperioder (merk
perioder) som slutter henholdsvis midten av november og midten av april. Det er mulig å søke
for kun ett semester, selv om informasjonen legger opp til et års varighet. Ettersom kulturen er
slik den er i Japan, er det viktig å være nøye med alle søknadspapirer, som kan ta mye tid.
Avgiften for å søke er 37.500 JPY (≈ 3.000 NOK). Det er også krav om å ha en
garantist/godkjenner i Japan, men dersom man ikke har dette kan det ved en ekstra avgift
ordnes slik at rektor er stedfortredende garantist. Dette er en ren lovmessig prosedyre som er
vanlig i Japan. Kostnader ellers, i form av skolepenger, bør beregnes til rundt 370.000 JPY (≈
30.000 NOK) per semester. Lånekassen kan selvfølgelig bidra veldig her, og det er også et
tillegg for bokostnader (som ikke er på campus). Utdrag fra gamle versjoner om
søknadsprosedyrer kan finnes i Appendiks, mens utdrag fra en fagoversikt kan finnes
nedenfor.

Graduate-programmet er en annen mulighet, men den forutsetter en god søknad som kan
argumentere for at fagene man holder på å ta, eller er klar for, er på et Master-nivå.
Informasjonen her forutsetter at man allerede har lest om Undergraduate-programmet.
Programmet har på samme måte et vårsemester og et høstsemester, med typiske
søknadsperioder i henholdsvis oktober og april. Det er viktig at man innen Graduateprogrammet (GPGS) søker på “International Business and Development Studies”, da man
mangler kulturelle/samfunnsvitenskapelige fag til “Global Studies”. På samme måte som for
Undergraduate-programmet kan man søke om ett semester om man ønsker dette, og
søknadsavgiften er den samme. De grunnleggende kravene og prosedyrene er ellers veldig
like, men man må selvfølgelig bevise at man er på Graduate-nivå. I tillegg må man på
“International Business and Development Studies” på forhånd ta GMAT-testen, som det
refereres til i innledningen. Som student på Graduate-programmet kan man også ta fag på
Undergraduate-nivå, men dette koster ekstra. Kostnadene er, i form av skolepenger, er litt
høyere (siden det er Master-nivå) og ligger på rundt 760.000 JPY (≈ 60.000 NOK) per
semester. Utdrag fra gamle versjoner om søknadsprosedyrer kan finnes i Appendiks, mens
utdrag fra en fagoversikt kan finnes nedenfor.
Webside: www.sophia.ac.jp/eng/admissions/graduate_p/english_g2/english_g_gs
Vedrørende fag og credits/studiepoeng i ECTS, så kan følgende spørsmål stilt til Sophia
nevnes:
Q: And in order to align these studies with my studies at the University I am currently
attending, I would like to know how many credits a two year master contains? I found some
info saying 30 credits on four semesters, is this correct? I need to plan how many 4-credit
courses I should take during one semester?
A: Credits 30 during two years…
Q: Many of the graduate subjects are valued 4 credits, and the requirements for a Master's
Degree says that 30 credits is the requirement. I am wondering if students attending the
Master's program only take 30 credits during four semesters, two years? Because this means
they only need to courses each semester? I feel this is too little to be a full-time student. Can
you explain how this works, as I can not get this to add up. I am trying to find out how a
course is valued and how many courses I need to take in order to get my studies in Japan
approved.
A: Yes, graduate program require students to take 30 credits for 2 years. You may feel it's
little. However graduate students spend many hours with self-study or research outside
coursework…
Dette virker litt merkelig, men fagene er hvert fall like store som de vi har. Et typisk semester
med fire fag er derfor hvert fall godt nok, og har egentlig blitt forhåndsgodkjent av Indøk en
gang allerede. Det som også er mulig er å be utenlandsseksjonen vurdere belastning, men det
bør da legges inn en stor tidsbuffer. Utdrag fra gamle versjoner om søknadsprosedyrer kan
finnes i Appendiks, mens utdrag av fagmuligheter finnes nedenfor.

Statistical Methods
This course is concerned with quantitative data analysis using
statistical methods. Topics such as sampling, data cleansing,
scale and questionnaire design will be discussed, and how
these factors relate to the kind of statistical analysis that may
be performed. We will concentrate on the multivariate
statistical methods commonly found in the business or
economics literature, including analysis of variance, multiple
regression, panel data analysis,logistic regression,
discriminant analysis and factor analysis. The emphasis will
be on practical application, and we will make extensive use of
computer software (SPSS, Minitab). Recommended
prerequisite: IBE340 (Economic Statistics) or equivalent
statistics course at undergraduate level.

Global Marketing
Management
The foundation for a successful global marketing programme
is a sound understanding of the marketing discipline.
Marketing is the process of focusing on resources and
objectives of an organization on environmental opportunities
and needs. Marketing is a set of concepts, tools, theories,
practices procedures and experience. Together these elements
constitute a teachable and learnable body of knowledge.
Marketing is universal, but marketing practices vary from
country to country. The course aims to: • review existing
literature and theory in the field of marketing and help
participants to understand the theoretical foundation of
marketing, its processes, tools and implementation within
international corporations • help participants to recognize and
analyze marketing-related issues and get an overview of
relevant marketing activities • provide insights into the
modern firm and its communication in global markets •
provide an advanced foundation to enable students to
understand and analyze marketing decisions by using case
studies and experiential exercises • provide an opportunity to
work on a real-world marketing problem and expand their
views on marketing processes and execution

International
Information System
and Management
Information Systems are a vital part of any organization
today. With the expansion of Internet, Information Systems
have extended their reach internationally to become huge
inter-organizational systems that have become vital for the
functioning of today‟s modern society. The International
Information Systems (IIS) are also playing a major role in the
globalization. This course, after an initial introduction of the
technical aspects of Information Systems, moves on to
introduce the students to various management information
systems. After learning the components that comprise an
Information System and various applications, students would
be exposed to the managerial challenges of these systems.
The course comprises of four main areas: 1) Introduction to
Information Systems 2) Network Economy and Real World
Information Systems 3) Management and Strategic Business
Information Systems 4) Planning, designing and
implementing Information System/ Project Management
Note: This course does not require any prior computer or IT
knowledge/experience.

Development
Theory and Policy
Economic development is a complex process. As an economy
grows, many social and economic variables of our interest
change dramatically - income per capita, distribution of
income, poverty incidence, access to education, sanitation,
and other economic resources, composition of industries, and
social and economic institutions. This course attempts to
acquaint students with an understanding of such a complex
process through the lens of economics.

Institutions,
Governance and
Development
When the world is facing radical transformation in the global
industrial structure, globalization of business activities, a new
system of production, and a new ideological orientation on
development, it is necessary for developing countries to
reconstruct developmental policies adapting to diverse
changes in environment. But changes are so complex and
intensive that new adaptation requires not only response to
external environment, but also accommodation of existing
socio-economic conditions. In a sense, developmental policies
now need to have a vision of harmonizing global movements
and the diverse sectors of socio-economic activities, namely,
a new governance of national economy. This course attempts
to capture the recent movements of international
organizations, government policies and administrative
practices, often expressed in terms of development and
governance which try to generate a harmonized system of
diverse development policies, organizations, and management
practices. I shall heavily rely on an institutional perspective.

Macroeconomics
Policy in a Global
Context
The goal of this course is to gain basic knowledge and skills
to analyze various problems in international finance. The first
half of the course is designed to gain the basic knowledge of
international finance. Topics will include balance of
payments, the long-run and short-run determination of the
exchange rates, and exchange rate policies. The second half
of the course is designed to apply the basic knowledge to
tackle various problems in international finance. Topics in the
second half include currency crises, recent financial crisis and
its international contagion.

Project
Management
Project management is a necessary skill in today's business
life. At any level, from entry to the CEO, an employee of a
firm is managing a series of projects either informally or
formally. For projects that require formal management this
course will prepare students on how to achieve superior
results using proven project management practices and
Zurcher

process. A hands-on approach will be used in this class so
that students gain direct experience within the class on how to
successfully manage a project. Emphasis will be placed on
team dynamics, effective communication and cross-cultural
challenges. The Professor began his business career working
on numerous projects as a project manager for HewlettPackard in the USA and Japan. He later ascended to the
General Manager level but always continued to apply his
project management skills to his various job challenges.
BD530
Resources and
Environment
We will discuss the economics of exhaustible, renewable, and
environmental resources and the public policy issues that
arise in seeking their efficient use. By the end of the course,
students will be able to appreciate: (1) the importance of illdefined property rights in the market allocation of these
resources; and (2) comparing costs and benefits across
different periods of time in determining their optimal use.

Conflicts and
Security
This course aims to deepen the students‟ knowledge and understanding of
conflicts and security in the post-Cold War era, with special attention given to
Southeast, Northeast and South Asia. After an introduction to basic theories of
war/conflict and security, the course proceeds to discuss ethnic conflict,
religious rebellion, the “clash of civilizations,” communist insurgencies and the
threat of weapons of mass destruction. A section of the course will be devoted
to studying the war in the Middle East as well as terrorism and counterterrorism. The course also covers natural resources and conflict; the political
economy of armed conflict; genocide, humanitarian intervention and the
“responsibility to protect”; and women and children in war. Particular cases of
conflict in Southeast, Northeast and South Asia – e.g., Indonesia, the
Philippines, Thailand, Xinjiang (China), Korea, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sri
Lanka, India and the South China Sea – and elsewhere – e.g., Iraq,
Israel/Palestine, Iran, Congo, Sudan, Colombia and Mexico – will be studied.
The course analyzes these conflicts from various perspectives and theoretical
approaches. Some comparative analysis will be made between particular
conflicts in Asia and those in other global regions. As some case studies will
already cover the efforts undertaken to resolve conflict, there will only be a
short final discussion on conflict resolution, peace building and peacekeeping
at the end of the course. The course will be taught in English and in seminarrather than lecture-style. To help students get a more graphic picture of
conflicts being discussed, short documentaries and newscasts (online and
offline) will be shown during the seminars.

Globalization
and
Institutional
Change
In 2011 the course is taught as an introduction to economic sociology.
Conventional wisdom about buying and selling, finding a job, etc... is mostly
shaped by the discipline of economics. Economics maintains that society is a
collection of independent individuals who each act in a rational manner in
pursuit of their self-interest. This course offers a different perspective on
economic action that is rooted in sociology and anthropology. It emphasizes
how we often do not act alone but in concert with other persons and institutions
and how even our ideas and self-interest are shaped by these interactions. The
course requires no background in economics or business.

Globalization
and Migration
This course will examine the impact of immigration on the states, societies, and
individuals. The first part of the course will address the questions such as why
people move and how nations change because of immigration and emigration.
It will particularly focus on the implications of highly-skilled migration and
global competition for talent. The second part will examine multiculturalism
policies and social cohesion. How have multiculturalism affected the states,
societies, and people? What are the challenges for the integration of
immigrants and ethnic minorities under multiculturalism and beyond? By
reviewing various policy examples and case studies, this course aims to help
students understand the realities of immigration and ethnic relations, and
analyze the intended and unintended consequences of public policies.

Global Culture
Humanity is facing its most daunting challenge in global climate change,
threatening life on Earth as we know it. This seminar is designed as a forum for
engaging with the monumental challenges posed by this planetary emergency.
We will explore this and related environmental issues in interdisciplinary,
international, and intergenerational fashion. Based on the idea that our
predicament requires us to transform, both conceptually and in practice, our
relationship with nature, the course will cover key concepts in environmental
studies and issues such as resource wars, sustainable development, green
ethics, rights of nonhumans, industrial pollution, and large-scale disasters. We
will briefly touch upon some of the many fields of inquiry that make up
environmental studies: ecological anthropology, environmental history,
political ecology, science and technology studies, development studies, and
ecocriticism. This course requires background knowledge of classic social,
political, economic, and evolutionary theory. Students are asked to participate
in class discussion and write a research paper.

Globalization
and NationStates
This is a seminar course taught every year, focusing on the place of sovereign
states and nationalism in the past, present, and the foreseeable future. This
year, the course focuses on the nature, the historical evolution, and the future of
sovereign states and sovereign states system. The course revolves around the
Anno

reading and discussion of major theoretical works on the subject. The
requirements include attendance, participation in class discussion, the
submission of reaction papers, and a final research paper.
Comparative
Politics
This course explores a variety of issues that advanced industrial democracies
face today in the context of globalization. In particular, we shall focus on what
may be called “the politics of reform” and seek through concrete case studies to
analyze the political dynamics that account for the prominence of the symbol
of “reform” in contemporary politics. (Those who took "Democracy in
Globalization" in spring 2010 will not be able to take this course.)
Nakano
AG531
Global Politics
This course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of a phenomenon
that, in some form or another, impacts the lives of everyone today:
globalization. Any attempt to analyze the complex dynamics of globalization
requires a multi-dimensional, inter-disciplinary approach and for this we will
closely examine a number of various sometimes complementary, other times
contradictory, issues not only in theoretical but also practical terms. In
presenting the many faces of “the beast”, this course intends to stimulate
students into a critical assessment of global issues that range from
environment, transnational organized crime and terrorism to population
growth, migration and health. The course will begin with an introduction of the
“theories of globalization”, will continue with a discussion of the distinct
aspects and issues of globalization and will conclude with an analysis of the
global actors, political structures and processes that are attempting to govern
over these global challenges. (In this seminar-style class, I am prepared to
accord more time and attention -and even add some which initially do not
figure on the syllabus- to those issues which are of particular interest to the
registering students.)

This course attempts to find out how people in developing countries can
develop their society where each individual can have more and better choices
to have decent lives and actualize their potentials for more meaningful lives. To
help their efforts, NGOs (non-governmental organizations), governmental
agencies, international organizations, private firms and other organizations
have been providing resources and opportunities. This course will try to find
out what contributions they make and what more and better they can do. This
course will be guided by theories and methods of sociology, development
studies, and other relevant disciplines to analyze case studies to understand
concrete reality and to see new possibility. The focus will be on micro aspects
of development that include lives and situations of individuals, organizations,
and communities. This course will train students to use necessary resources to
figure out how they can help people of developing countries to develop such
society through their research or practical projects. Students are expected to
read assigned materials, make presentation of the assigned reading material,
actively participate in discussion, and design their own research projects.

International University of Japan
International University of Japan (IUJ) er universitetet som undertegnede valgte for sitt
utvekslingsopphold. Dette hadde imidlertid bakgrunn i rent praktiske årsaker og noen andre
misforståelser, slik at det aldri ble et reelt valg mellom Sophia og IUJ. Dette universitet finner
man 80 minutter utenfor Tokyo, som da blir nærmere vestkysten av Japan. Der finner man det
i landlige omgivelser, men med Shinkansen er tilknytningen god. Universitetet ble grunnlagt i
1982, og er et av de få universitetene i Japan som tilbyr alle sine fag på engelsk. Det er et
universitet der man bor på campus sammen med de andre 330 studentene i et veldig
internasjonalt miljø med over 50 nasjonaliteter. En grunn til det lave antallet studenter er at
det kun er Master-studenter (og MBA) og at fagfeltet er veldig spisset, en høy standard på
studentene. På vinteren er det nesten som å være i Norge, med masse snø og gode
skimuligheter. Universitetet har i tillegg god tilknytning og kommunikasjon mot bedrifter.
NTNU har heller ingen avtale med dette universitet, kanskje også fordi det kun spenner over
et par av områdene som tilbys i Trondheim. En annen norsk skole har avtale.
Webside: www.iuj.ac.jp/
Informasjon som kommer videre forutsetter at man har lest om Sophia University. I hovedsak
tilbys det fag innen business/finans og internasjonale relasjoner på IUJ, noe som gjør det å
finne fag som passer med studieprogrammet i Norge veldig enkelt. Imidlertid kan noen
tekniske retninger finne passende tekniske fag. Man søker som “Special student of GSIM” og
blir da en del av utvekslingsprogrammet deres i praksis. Utfordringen er selvfølgelig her at
man må bevise at man er verdig til fag på Master-nivå, og da må forklare situasjonen i det
integrerte programmet hjemme, da man helst skal ha en Bachelor. I forhold til
credits/studiepoeng, så er det 48 i løpet av to år, som betyr at man må ha 12 for at det skal
tilsvare 30 ECTS (et semester i Norge). Utfordringen er imidlertid at skolen opererer med tre
perioder i løpet av et år. Her står man litt fritt til å velge, ut fra hvor lang tid man vil oppholde
skal vare og hvor intensivt/hardt man ønsker det. Periodene er høst (tidlig oktober – sent
desember), vinter (tidlig januar – sent mars) og vår (tidlig april – midten av juni).
Søknadsfrister er henholdsvis 1. juni, 1. november og 1. februar, men det er bare positivt å
være tidlig ute da de gjerne vurderer fortløpende. Siden dette universitetet tilbyr MBA, så er
GMAT-testen nødvendig. I forhold til kostnader så er det ingen kostnader for å søke, men
man bør beregne rundt 1.200.000 JPY (≈ 95.000 NOK) for studiepoeng tilsvarende et
semester i Norge. Imidlertid sparer man betraktelig på levekostnadene, sammenlignet med
Tokyo. Utdrag fra gamle versjoner om søknadsprosedyrer kan finnes i Appendiks, mens
utdrag fra fagmulighetene kan finnes nedenfor.

Andre muligheter
Ovenfor er det vist noen konkrete muligheter som faktisk går gjennom både i Norge og som
man kan komme inn på. Denne delen har til hensikt å presentere noen studieinstitusjoner som
kan sjekkes ut nærmere, men som undertegnede ikke kom hjem på. Det er fortsatt arbeidet
under de samme kriteriene som tidligere. Universitetene som nevnes nedenfor har da kommet
gjennom de første fire utslagsrundene knyttet til disse kriteriene, fra utgangspunktet med flere
hundre universiteter!
Potensiale
Universitetene her er de som har best potensiale, utenom de nevnte. Poenget her er at en
endelig løsning for utvekslingen ikke var klar, men de kan ha potensiale for å jobbes videre
med.

http://www.gakumu.titech.ac.jp/kyoumu/graduate/time_schedule.html
1. Courses marked with ★ will be taught in English in principle.
2. Courses marked with ◆ may be taught in English upon request. Please contact Instructor directly.
3. Courses marked with ▲ are of the International Graduate Program.
4. Courses marked with „C‟ stands for Creative.
5. □ marks before the Course Title will be offered first half of the Semester.
6. ■ marks before the Course Title will be offered second half of the Semester. Schedules will be notified
through the Bulletin board.
7. ● marks before the Course Title are for the Doctoral Program students only.
You can take courses as much as you like (Some courses limit the number of students). The final decision for
credit approval lies with your home university. To graduate Master's Program at Tokyo Institute of Technology,
more than 30 Credits is required. Please check the detail by following website (it is mentioned in page 3)
http://www.gakumu.titech.ac.jp/kyoumu/graduate/pdf/time_schedule/time_schedule_H22_1_02.pdf
- Can I choose subjects from any department I like to fulfill the study plan I have at my current university or do I
have to take many subjects at the same department where I am conducting my mandatory research?
If you can get the permission from both the lecturer of each class and your academic advisor, you can take class
from different department. And there is no limit.
- Is it only possible to conduct a research at the Graduate School of Engineering? I have problems with
connecting this Graduate School to the list of syllabus you sent me.
"Factory Study Tour (2 credits per semester)”, " Topics on Japan (2 credits per semester)" and "Sotsuron and
Sotsuron Seminar (6 credits per semester)" are compulsory subjects in YSEP program. To complete YSEP
program, you just need to take above courses. Besides them, YSEP students take courses of the International
Graduate Program and Japanese language course depend on their research purpose or their interest. We will
explain about courses at the orientation.

Mulig potensiale
Universitetene som her følger har mulig potensiale, men informasjonsinnhentingen har ikke

Notater:
Mye relevante studier, men litt usikkerhet knyttet til kravene for å studere der. Egentlig ganske perfekt skole.
Fungerer trolig ikke, da NTNU ikke har avtale med dem. En mulighet er som MEXT-student, gjennom
ambassaden. Dette virker imidlertid som mye stress.

Det er hovedsaklig snakk om språkstudier, med andre studier i tillegg.
Is subjects on the Japanese Studies Course also taught in English, so that I without problems can choose these?
- JLP courses taught in only Japanese and the International and Japanese Studies courses are in only English.

Stort sett hele studieprogram virker det som. En del interessante studier. problemstillingen er fortsatt om de tar
imot utvekslingsstudenter i det hele tatt, når det er snakk om slike "korte" perioder. De tar ikke imot
utvekslingsstudenter og kan kun ta tre fag som non-degree student.

Virker som det er gode muligheter her. Interessante linjer og gode muligheter, hvert fall hvis man tar et helt år.
Språkproblemer viser seg å være problem for mange linjer, i og med at Anders ikke snakker Japansk.

AVSLUTTENDE KOMMENTARER
Dette notatet har nå gjennomgått noen muligheter for Indøk-studenter, men også andre fra
NTNU, som ønsker å studere nær Tokyo i Japan på sin utveksling. I Appendiks 4 kan man
finne en guide fra ANSA om Japan. Det er et håp om at dette notat skal hjelpe med
utfordringene knyttet til å studere i Japan, da dette er en lærerik opplevelse for livet. Ta
kontakt dersom det er spørsmål knyttet til dette notatet eller informasjon om Japan.

credits but do not intend to receive an academic degree. This status is applicable only to international students who
will enroll as full-time students. Most of the undergraduate courses, including certain Japanese language courses, are
available to non-degree students unless there are enrollment conflicts with degree students. All courses in this faculty
are conducted in English.
Fields of Study
Courses offered in this faculty :
・Comparative Culture (Art History, Literature, Religion-Philosophy)
・International Business and Economics
・Social Studies (Anthropology-Sociology, History, Political Science)
・Japanese Language Program
・Japanese Language Pedagogy
The language of instruction is English. Please see p. 9 for the course list.
Accreditation
The academic programs of this faculty are chartered by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports,
Science and Technology. Credits earned are fully recognized by major universities in the United States of
America and elsewhere. These credits are normally accepted for transfer provided they fit into the student’s
overall program at his or her home institution.
The Academic Year
The Faculty of Liberal Arts follows the same calendar as the other faculties of the University. There are two
semesters, beginning in April and September. Each semester consists of 15 weeks of classes, including final

JAPANESE LANGUAGE TRACKS
The following diagrams summarize the different Japanese language tracks offered by FLA/FCC. Students may move from
one track to another depending on their linguistic qualifications and educational purpose.
Note: JPN111 → JPN112 etc. denotes the normal route.
Track 1: Japanese Courses for Non-Native Speakers (Regular Program)
- 11 -
Track 2: Japanese Courses for Non-Native Speakers (Intensive Program)
The Japanese Language Intensive Program (JLIP) is an intensive course that teaches the Japanese language in the context of
Japanese culture. The course is designed to meet the needs of students who are interested in acquiring a solid grounding in
spoken and written Japanese as a basis for further academic study at the undergraduate or postgraduate level, or to pursue a
variety of careers where knowledge of Japanese will be an asset.
The JLIP track draws on a wide range of written and audiovisual materials to lead students to a mastery of reading, writing,
and speaking skills at the intermediate level. The course comprises three classes (JPN180, JPN270, and JPN280). Classes
meet for three hours a day (9:15~12:30) from Monday through Friday. JPN180, JPN270, and JPN280 are offered every
semester.
Students who plan to enter the JLIP should have already completed the study of elementary Japanese.
Note: JPN180 → JPN270 → JPN280 denotes the normal route.

I. SOPHIA UNIVERSITY
Sophia University was founded in 1913 by the Jesuits, a Catholic order renowned for excellence in education.
From the beginning, the university founders stressed an internationally oriented curriculum and rigorous training
in foreign languages. Sophia soon established itself as a leading institution for scholarship on foreign languages
and literature in Japan. Today Sophia University is a major teaching and research university in the humanities and
social sciences with 12,000 students, and teaching staff of 1,000 encompassing dozens of nationalities. Graduate
education at Sophia has been recognized for excellence by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and
Technology - Japan (MEXT) through Center of Excellence and Attractive Graduate Education awards.
II. GRADUATE PROGRAM IN GLOBAL STUDIES OVERVIEW
The Graduate Program in Global Studies (GPGS), founded in April 2006, builds on Sophia’s traditional strengths
in area studies to examine globalization. It emphasizes inquiry into the contemporary world and its history through
a curriculum that combines interdisciplinary global studies, theories and methodologies of the humanities and
social sciences, and language training and cross-cultural understandings of Japanese and area studies.
The approximately 30 faculty members in the GPGS have advanced degrees from leading universities around
the world and engage in research and publication in their specializations. Every semester up to 15 applicants
are admitted to pursue the M.A. degree, as well as up to three Ph.D. candidates. The small size of the program
encourages close student-faculty interaction.
Degrees
The GPGS offers four degrees that are accredited by MEXT.
The M.A. and Ph.D in Global Studies focus on the study of global issues and processes from social science
perspectives.
The M.A. in International Business and Development Studies emphasizes analytical skills to deal with
contemporary global business and development issues in Japan and Asia.
The M.A. in Japanese Studies enables interdisciplinary study of historical and contemporary aspects of Japanese
literature, religion, art history, society, and culture.
Residence
As determined by MEXT, the standard residence requirement is two full academic years for the M.A. degree,
with the possibility of early graduation. For the Ph.D. degree the requirement is three full academic years. The
maximum time allowed to complete all the requirements for the M.A. degrees is four full academic years and
for Ph.D. degree is five full academic years, excluding the period of time spent on leave of absence from the
university.
Curriculum
The curriculum is organized by degree area. Students can take some of their courses outside of their degree area.
For details please visit the GPGS website at http://grad.fla.sophia.ac.jp/ .

INFORMATION FOR SPECIAL STUDENTS
Graduate School of International Management (GSIM)
International University of Japan (IUJ)
SPECIAL STUDENT OF GSIM
A special student of the Graduate School of International Management (GSIM) can obtain credits from
courses he/she takes.
However, a special student cannot obtain a degree. A special student shall attend not only the classes but
also participate in discussion in the classes and must take examinations the same as the regular students.
Courses a special student may take are limited, in principle, to non-language courses.
The period of special student status is at least one term and at most one year while it may be extended at
his/her request.
ELIGIBILITY
The Graduate School of International Management considers individuals with one of the following
qualifications to be eligible applicants:
(1) Those who hold, or are about to receive, their bachelor’s degree from an accredited four-year college or
university and who have completed a minimum of sixteen years of formal schooling.
(2) Those who hold a bachelor’s degree in a country where less than 16 years of formal schooling is
required for completion of that degree program and who have one or more years of research experience
subsequent to their bachelor’s degree at an academic institution; minimum age of 22. (An official letter
attesting to the academic research experience is required as part of the application documents.)
(3) In some cases, those who hold a bachelor’s degree from an educational institution in a country where 15
years of formal schooling is required for completion of that degree program but have no research
experience may be regarded as eligible applicants based on their undergraduate performance.
(4) Those who have completed two years of education beyond secondary school (such as junior college or
vocational school), have more than two years of work experience, a minimum age of 22, and submit an
additional essay on the topic of "unique features of my work experience and how they contribute to the
Graduate School of International Management at IUJ".
While there is no restriction as to the applicant's content of undergraduate education, nationality, age, or sex,
the applicant's facility in written and spoken English is a vital point to be evaluated as all the courses at IUJ
are taught in English.

weeks + 1 examination week per term).

Det japanske utdanningssystemet er bygd opp etter amerikansk mal.
Gradsystemet har følgende oppbygging:
Gakushi (bachelorgrad)
Den første graden i universitetssystemet. Graden er normert til fire år. Profesjonsstudier som for
eksempel medisin, odontologi, arkitektur, veterinærmedisin, osv. tar vanligvis seks år.
Shushi (mastergrad)
Påbygningsstudium som er normert til to år. Dette studiet tilbys på såkalte daigaku- in
(graduate schools).
Hakushi (doktorgrad)
Doktorgraden (PhD) er normert til minimum tre år etter fullført mastergrad.
NB! Lånekassen gir ikke støtte til det første året av en japansk bachelorgrad.
Internasjonale studenter kan søke opptak til følgende fem typer læresteder:
• Colleges of technology (64)*
• Specialized training colleges / professional training colleges (postsecondary courses) (3. 435)
• Junior colleges (434)
• Universities (756)
• Graduate schools (598)
* totalt antall skoler
Studiemuligheter
Undervisningsspråk og språkkurs (Japanese Language Institutions)
Undervisningen i Japan foregår går hovedsaklig på japansk. Forventet nivå er Level 1 eller 2 på
Japanese Proficiency Test (JLPT), hvilket skal være tilstrekkelig for å kunne følge undervisningen.
Level 1 og 2 tilsvarer 600 - 900 timer språkstudier, eller 1-2 års intensivkurs i Japan. JLPT kan tas i
desember hvert år.
Engelskspråklige studiemuligheter
Flere og flere studier tilbys på engelsk.

Språkstipend og tilretteleggingssemester fra Lånekassen
De fleste japanske universiteter tilbyr språkkurs for utlendinger. Lånekassen kan gi støtte til språkkurs
ved universitet eller språkskole, være seg som kortvarige språkkurs (min. fire uker m/ 15 timers
undervisning per uke), eller tilretteleggingssemester (min. tre mnd. m/ 15 timers undervisning per
uke).
Språkkurset må tas forut for hovedutdanningen, men inntil to uker av kurset kan gå parallelt med
hovedutdanningen. Begynner du ikke å studere innen ett år etter at kurset er ferdig, blir stipendet gjort
om til lån. Utvekslingsstudenter vil også kunne få støtte til språkkurs.
Tilretteleggingssemesteret er ment for studenter som har planlagt å ta en hel utdanning i Japan etter
endt språkkurs. Dersom du ikke begynner på en utdanning innen ett år etter fullført språkopplæring,
blir hele beløpet fra Lånekassen stående som lån. De fleste aktuelle japanske universiteter tilbyr
språkopplæring for utlendinger. Utvekslingsstudenter vil ikke kunne få denne typen støtte.
Forskningsrådet
Norges forskningsråd disponerer midler til tipender til nordmenn som vil studere i Japan. Les mer om
dette på Forskningsrådets nettsider: www.forskningsradet.no/is
Utveksling
Flere andre norske læresteder, deriblant universitetet i Bergen, NTNU i Trondheim og
Handelshøyskolen BI, har utvekslingsavtaler med asiatiske læresteder. Forhør deg direkte med det
aktuelle lærestedet om disse mulighetene.
Det finnes ellers to typer utveksling; utveksling gjennom eksisterende avtaler og utveksling som ikke
går gjennom slike avtaler. Generelt vil undervisning ved utveksling på undergraduatenivå (bachelor)
være på japansk, mens det ved utveksling på graduatenivå (master) vil være på engelsk.

PRAKTISK INFORMASJON
Årshjul
Skoleåret går normalt fra april til september (1. semester) og fra oktober til mars (2. semester).
Enkelte institusjoner følger en modell som likner mer vår hjemlige (august/september til mai/juni).
Feriesesongen er tredelt; ultimo july - primo september, ultimo desember - primo januar og februar
- mars.
Visum
For å kunne søke studentvisum trenger du oppholdstillatelse, et Certificate of Eligibility.
Oppholdstillatelse må du søke immigrasjonsmyndighetene i Japan om før du reiser til Japan. Derfor
får du vanligvis det japanske lærestedet til å søke om dette for deg. Oppholdstillatelsen utstedes av
immigrasjonmyndighetene i løpet av ca. 4-6 uker. Først når du har mottatt denne kan du søke Japans
ambassade i Oslo om studentvisum. Oppholdstillatelsen må leveres til ambassaden sammen med
søknaden. Fra Japans ambassade mottar papirene er saksbehandlingstiden 2-4 dager. Hvis du ikke kan
hente visumet på ambassaden selv, må du i tillegg beregne tid til å få det tilsendt per post.
Arbeid
Som student kan du jobbe rundt 20 timer i uken. Du får ikke automatisk arbeidstillatelse når du har
studentvisum. Dette må du søke immigrasjonsmyndighetene om, vanligvis etter at du har kommet til
Japan. Det er som regel en formalitet, og de fleste som er i Japan med studentvisum vil få innvilget
søknad om deltidsarbeidstillatelse. Ta kontakt med Japans ambassade for nærmere informasjon.
Bomuligheter
Mulighetene er mange for internasjonale studenter. JASSO har noen egne tilbud til internasjonale
studenter. I tillegg har man det private markedet ( 77 % av den internasjonale studentmassen) og
studenthybler tilbudt av lokale myndigheter og universiteter.

* Gjennomsnitlig forbuk i Tokyo er langt høyere enn i andre japanske byer. Leiepriser kan variere
avhening av avstand til offentlig transport, hybelstandars og alder på bygget.
Home-stay
Et alternativ for dem som virkelig vil bli kjent med japansk kultur og språk er å bo hos en vertsfamilie,
såkalt home-stay. Gjennom et home-stay-program får man være mer delaktig i det japanske samfunnet
enn ved å bo på hybel. Det finnes slike programmer av ulik varighet, slik at man kan bo hos en familie
kun deler av oppholdet, dersom man ønsker det. Hvis man er interessert i home-stay bør man høre med
lærestedet sitt, se også http://home.att.ne.jp/orange/star/homestay/
STIPENDER
Norges forskningsråd administrerer tildelingen av statsstipend Japan. Stipendet vil kun
bli gitt til studenter ved høyere utdanningsinstitusjoner med minimum to års høyere utdanning bak seg,
og vil normalt ikke bli gitt til utdanning ved private læresteder.
Følgende stipender er tilgjengelige:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Statsstipend til Japan: Bachelorstipend i Japan
Statsstipend til Japan: Studier i japansk språk og kultur

JSPS gjesteforskerstipend til Japan
JSPS postdoktorstipend til Japan
For detaljert informasjon, se www.forskningsradet.no/is
Den japanske stat og forskjellige foreninger har en rekke stipender forbeholdt utenlandsstudenter, både
helgradsstudenter og utvekslingsstudenter.
