In order to provide a safe and comfortable learning environment, Soka University operates dormitories for international students. Priority is given to students who are enrolled in the Bekka Preparatory Japanese Language Program, Undergraduate Non-degree Program, and exchange students who are unable to rent apartments due to their visa status. Administrators and student staff members (including Japanese students) are stationed at the dormitories to provide assistance to and for the security of resident international students.
Soka University’s objective is not only to provide for the optimal learning environment. We hope that students from around the world will prove to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build lifelong friendships and interact with people from diverse cultures on a daily basis.
※Information regarding the terms and conditions of residence for each of the dormitories is sent directly to exchange and international students accepted into Soka University following their entrance examination results.
In order to support the job hunting activities of international students, Soka University provides assistance through career-oriented classes and interviews. In particular, students that intend to find employment in Japan are required to have a language proficiency of at least Level N2 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, as well as to understand activities unique to Japan. Soka University offers various career-oriented classes and supports international students in allowing them to open up their future on their own.
