Learn and live in central Tokyo

Access

If you are planning on studying abroad, make sure to add Tokyo to your list.

You can enjoy the food, sight-seeing, and Japanese- yet international culture.

Also, there are many exchange students from all over the world studying in Tokyo.

Your stay in Tokyo, the capital city of Japan, could make your student life much more exciting and meaningful.

Students in the Faculty of Economics study at two

campuses in the greater Tokyo area; the Mita Campus and

the Hiyoshi Campus. It only takes 17 minutes to get to the

Mita Campus from Tokyo Station, and Hiyoshi Campus is

about 35 minutes away from the Mita Campus. Tokyo

Metro or JR Line, and city buses are available for

transportation.

Although it is said that commodity prices in Japan are unusually high, students can find ways to keep

their costs down, for example by taking advantage of the university’s facilities. There are several

cafeterias on the Hiyoshi and Mita campuses, which provide delicious and reasonable dishes. If you are

looking for a place to stay, don’t forget to check out the Keio University dormitories.

4 big city comparison

Despite the alleged high level of Tokyo’s commodity prices, compared to three major cities (New York, London, and

Singapore), Tokyo is quite a reasonable place for study abroad. There are numerous discount shops in Tokyo,

offering foods and daily necessities at low prices compared to supermarkets.

Lead the world in a new direc tion as a leader of tomorrow

Programme in Economics for Alliances, Research and Leadership（PEARL） is an

all-English four-year programme for studying economics in English offered by the

Faculty of Economics at Keio University. PEARL’s academic year starts in

September, and is designed to foster the global leaders of tomorrow.

The applicants’ academic ability is evaluated using internationally recognised tests

and qualifications including standard test scores (International Baccalaureate, SAT,

or ACT), and TOEFL iBT and/or IELTS scores regardless of an applicant’s native

language. There is no written entrance exam and no interview. Students who

satisfy the graduation requirements will be awarded a bachelor’s degree.

Environment to develop future generations of global leaders

Upon high school completion, Sciences Po –

Keio DD stood out most, as it was a rare

opportunity for students to get acquainted to

two disparate experiences in the East and West.

The best thing that happened in course of 4

years was learning how to un-learn the things I

have learnt in the past, and also giving up many

presumptions the society has drilled into me

back at home. Meeting and interacting with the

diverse student population in Sciences Po made

me realize the vast possibilities life offers and

rendered me culture awareness.

Discover your purpose through stepping out of your comfort zone

Class of AY 2017, Keio-Sciences Po Double Degree Programme

Jenell Yan Shan Lau

Overall, in four years in the double degree programme, I

was able to discover many topics, gain a theoretical

background in Economics and understand what I

aspire to personally and professionally.

The most rewarding experience was to meet people

from all over the world with so diverse backgrounds

and aspirations, both in Sciences Po and Keio. It was

also amazing to be a regular student in a Japanese

university, as it is a rare experience. This way, I was able

to meet regular Japanese students and have a deeper

cultural experience than if I had only been part of an

exchange program for a very limited amount of time.

An enriching human and academic experience


Pauline Bibaut

I wanted to study abroad outside Singapore, as I

was interested in broadening my perspectives. The

Double Degree Programme indeed offers a unique

exposure, and I am glad that I was able to benefit

from this opportunity.

The entire experience was rewarding! But I would

say that the best part was my fellow students in

the programme: the small-size of the class and the

fact that you’re spending approximately 4 years

together with them means that you would definitely

build long-lasting relationships with them that will

endure even after graduation.

Approach the programme with an open mind !

An academically and culturally rewarding experience


Benjamin Cheong

Keio students study three years at Keio, then two years at

a partner university abroad. When students meet all the

graduation requirements of both universities, they will be

awarded a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Keio at the

end of their fourth year, and a master’s degree at the end

of their fifth year in the programme from the partner

university.

The Faculty of Economics puts effort into providing

student exchange programmes. Students in the

Faculty of Economics can choose a region, a

university and duration from a variety of options.

Credits earned at the host university abroad may be

counted towards credits at Keio, which allows

students studying abroad to graduate in four years.

Five Year Bachelor/Master’s Programme

Student Exchange Programme(Faculty-wide)

Students from both universities taking part in this programme will study together

at two campuses in two different countries and will be awarded two Bachelor of

Arts degrees upon satisfying the graduation requirements of both institutions.

The Faculty of Economics at Keio is one of Japan’s leading

economics departments, and traces its history back to 1890,

when Keio became the first Japanese institute of higher learning

to establish a department dedicated for the theoretical and

empirical investigation of economic issues. Since then, the study

of economics has been pursued here in a liberal, open-minded

atmosphere, with the faculty committed to education and

research of the highest caliber. Keio Economics alumni hold

positions of leadership in politics, business, and academia,

heading or serving on the boards of hundreds of publicly listed

companies, and many alumni are active at the highest levels of

public service and government.

Since its foundation Keio University has stressed the importance of

economics as a discipline indispensable for understanding modern

society. Indeed, Keio is renowned for its economics education among

others and continues to train people to be global leaders in various fields.

Keio’s founder Yukichi Fukuzawa was extremely interested in economic

science, with his firm conviction that economic phenomena played

significant roles in social change. The Faculty of Economics at Keio has

inherited his belief that a deep understanding of the economy contributes

to the independence of individuals and the nation.

Learning economics in the present age of rapid globalization directly links

with forging an ability to think about society from an international

perspective. To facilitate this ability, the Faculty of Economics aims to

teach students how to transmit their ideas and debate on the global stage

armed with a comprehensive knowledge of economics through

faculty-based student exchange programs, double degree programs with

Sciences Po (France) and Bocconi University (Italy), and the PEARL

Programme, a four-year integrated degree program in English.

Additionally, our curriculum centers around seminars and is supported by

the pillars of small-group research projects and the PCP programme in

English for third- and fourth-year students.

We look forward to meeting you at our faculty on Keio’s Hiyoshi and Mita

Campuses.
