One of Waseda's entryways to the world
is its School of International Liberal Studies or SILS.
Some 30% of students in SILS are non-Japanese,
and classes are primarily given in English.
One of the unique characteristics of SILS is its small-group learning system
in which classes are given in seminar format
with about 25 students.
Because of Waseda fs commitment to teacher-student communication,
many classes utilize this small-group learning system, and right from the first term
of student fs first year
they will be able to enroll in seminar classes,
with one teacher to 25 students.
SILS is also unique for its strong interdisciplinary approach,
which encourages strong reasoning skills
and the approaching of issues from various perspectives.
The department offers students a strong education in the humanities,
social sciences and the natural sciences.
SILS also has a variety of programs for international students who wish to improve their language abilities
in order to master Japanese and English as well as other languages.
Besides SILS, students can enroll in a variety of Japanese-language learning classes
at the University fs Center for Japanese Language in order to improve their abilities or to work
on specific kinds of language issues.
Students who require extra help in improving their writing skills
can get one-on-one help at Waseda's writing center.
Trained tutors will work with students
to fix problems in their writing or help with the revision stage of writing.
This help is available in both Japanese and English.
Waseda fs commitment to cultivating its overseas students
can also be found in our graduate schools and research labs.
English-only educational opportunities
are offered in our graduate programs,
attracting many international students.
By building networks and promoting cooperative learning and research with overseas universities,
Waseda has adopted a new Double Degree Program
in which international students can obtain a Waseda University degree
at the same time obtaining a degree from an overseas institution.
In order to promote internationalization in educational research
and student communication,
Waseda has set up offices and research sites in various locations around the world.
Waseda is now linked up with institutions in some 80 countries and territories
with educational exchange agreements with some 600 universities and academic institutions.
In 2009,
to acknowledge the University fs commitment to cultivating students
who can go on to contribute internationally,
Waseda was selected by Japan fs Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology
to become a "Global 30" international education and research initiative university.
The University is also implementing
a new English-language degree program
for the school years starting 2010 to 2012
in five undergraduate and six graduate schools
in the Faculties of Political Science and Economics, Social Sciences, and Science and Engineering.
Waseda University currently has over 3,000 international students
from China, Korea, Taiwan, and other Asian countries
as well as from Europe and the United States.
To help make life at easier at the university for our overseas students,
the University has put in place a comprehensive system
to help them adapt to life and study at Waseda.
One example of this is the Tanashi Dormitory,
where Ms. Tao Sha lives.
Here, international students live together with Japanese students.
This encourages that many cultural and language exchanges will take place as part of daily living together.
At each residence, there is a Resident Assistant who can speak English and help international students
with any communication issues if necessary.
The University fs Center for International Education
is the place where international students can get information on dormitories
or get support in job hunting, student visas or advice concerning temporary visits back home.

students can also receive a variety of suggestions on how to make the most out of life and study in Japan.
