"University-wide Open Courses"

Global Education Center offers courses in various fields to all Waseda students regardless of the
school/department they belong to.
Please note that almost all of these courses are conducted in Japanese. As these courses are
designed for average Japanese college students, the same level of Japanese proficiency that they
have is required to take these courses.

Also, you can take university-wide open courses offered by other schools/departments as well.
Although most of the courses are conducted in Japanese, however, Center for International
Education and some schools offer some English courses, on the other hand.
