Musashino Japanese Studies Program (MJSP)
Musashino Japanese Studies Program (MJSP) has been implemented as a stepping stone to further internationalize Musashino University by its 100th anniversary in 2024. It is a Japanese language and culture training program centered primarily around exchanges between students from partner schools and Japanese students.
The program was first held in 2015, and every year many students take part from partner schools and exchange schools. It differs from the half-year and full-year Partnership Study Abroad Program in that the summer and winter holidays of the students’ affiliated schools are utilized to make participation easier. Upon completion of the program, participants are given a certificate of completion and scholastic record.
