This Prince Takamado Japan Centre and the Department of East Asian Studies coordinate a summer study abroad program in Japan. The 4-week program will be held at Ritusmeikan University, Kinugasa Campus, located in northwestern Kyoto, a 1200-year-old city rich in culture and art. A center of Japanese learning and culture, Kyoto is home to a number of universities and university students. Ritsumeikan University's Kinugasa Campus is surrounded by such well-known temples as Kinkakuji, Ryoanji, Ninnaji, and Tojiin, and is a suitably tranquil setting for research and learning.
The program consists of three components: Japanese language classes, Japan cultural studies based on field trips and lectures by specialists, and project work. Students are eligible to receive six transfer-credits for JAPAN250 or JAPAN350 to the University of Alberta upon successful completion of the program.
