Japanese Language and Culture Subjects
Center for Japanese Language and Culture offers a wide range of subjects to international
undergraduate / graduate students. These subjects comprise Japanese language subjects, Japanese
studies subjects and International studies subjects.
Japanese language subjects are offered at different levels of ability, with class allocations based
on the results of the Japanese Placement Test held before the beginning of classes. (Students are not
allowed to register Japanese language subjects without taking Japanese Placement Test.)
Japanese studies subjects cover a variety of topics, including The Tradition and Beauty of
Japan, The Tradition and Culture of Japan, The Tradition and Performing Arts of Japan, Japanese
History, Japanese Culture, Japanese Society, Japanese Philosophy and Religion, Education in
Japan, and Law and Politics in Japan. (Some subjects and classes are taught in English.)
Lectures in International Studies, such as History of the World, deal with broad field of
studies related to the world.
It is our hope that learning these subjects will assist all international students to soon adjust
to life at Doshisha and to achieve further study and research here, as well as enabling them to
learn about the Japanese language and culture in depth and thereby enjoy a more authentic study
experience in Japan. Regardless of whether you are a Regular Student or Special Student, we
recommend that you cultivate your abilities by taking as many subjects as possible.
For further information, please read Registration Guide for Japanese Language and Culture
Subjects, the brochure distributed to new international students at the orientation session held
before the beginning of classes. For details of each subject and class, please refer to Doshisha
University Syllabus (http://syllabus.doshisha.ac.jp). Whether credits earned from this program
count towards the graduation requirements may vary between faculties or departments. Please
check the system carefully before registration.
For those who are interested in lecture series taught in English, also refer to Registration Guide
for Japanese Language and Culture Subjects for details. Please read it carefully before registration.
For those who have not yet reached an advanced level of Japanese, we offer an Introductory Level
Japanese Course at both Imadegawa and Kyotanabe campuses. Although no degree credits are given
for the course, it will help you acquire the basic knowledge of and improve your communication
skills in Japanese.
Notes:
Registration Guide for Japanese Language and Culture Subjectsare distributed at Japanese
placement test for new students. If current students require the Guide, please obtain it at the office of
Center for Japanese Language and Culture at the time of registration before the beginning of classes.

going to leave and re-enter Japan within 1 year (2 years for special permanent residents) with a valid
passport and a resident card or an alien registration card (a special permanent resident certificate
for special permanent residents), you dont need to have a re-entry permit from the Immigration in
advance anymore. However, if your period of stay expires within 1 year after your departure, please
ensure that you re-enter Japan before the expiration of your period of stay.
Please be sure to present your Passport, and Alien Registration Card}or Resident

zIf you are planning to leave Japan more than 1 year, (2 years for special permanent residents), you
need to have a re-entry permit from the Immigration in advance as before. Valid period for the re-
entry permit is for 5 years maximum (6 years maximum for special permanent residents) within the
range of your period of stay.
zIf you have departed from Japan on a special re-entry permit will not be able to extend that permit
while abroad. You will lose your resident status if you fail to re-enter Japan within 1 year (2 years
for special permanent residents) of your departure.
If you are planning to leave Japan more than 1 year, (more than 2 years for special permanent
residents), please prepare the following documents and apply for a re-entry permit to the
Immigration in advance as before.

(TA) and research assistant (RA) goes, you dont need to get permission. However, you need to get
permission when you have part-time job except these jobs above.

unsatisfactory attendance.

Housing
To find a place to live is the first step to your life as a student in Japan. The market for
accommodation in Japan is tough, and it is difficult to find the kind of housing you want.
Doshisha University provides limited number of dormitory accommodation for self-funded
international student, so whenever possible you should seek to secure accommodation yourself, in
consultation with acquaintances living in the Kyoto area.
If you are left with no choice but to look for accommodation after your arrival in Japan, please
consult with the following estate agents.

monthly expenses, and fees due when you first sign a contract.

Part-time Work
You have entered Doshisha University for the purpose of learning and are given/entitled the
status of residence as College Student. That means, until you complete your education, your
activities in Japan are limited to academic ones. If you plan to engage in other activities such as part-
time jobs, you are required to obtain Permission to Engage in Activity other than that Permitted
under the Status of Residence Previously Granted.(Please refer to page of Permission to Engage in
Activity other than that Permitted under the Status of Residence Previously Granted) Please do not
forget to have this permission and be careful not to work longer than the hours permitted.
Part-time jobs at places of entertainment and amusement businesses (nightclubs, bars, or
Pachinko-parlors) are forbidden. Working at these kinds of places, as well as engaging in part-
time jobs without having permission, can result in punishment/penalty or deportation from the
country.
We understand that living in Japan as an international student will cost you considerably and
is not easy for you. There might be cases where the amount of remittance from your home and/
or scholarship are not enough to cover your entire costs and you have to work part time in order
to complement academic or other expenses. However, what matters most is learning and you
must give top priority to it. Please keep in mind that spending longer hours working part-
time at the cost of learning cannot be tolerated. Office of International Students will act as an
intermediary when you apply for permission, but we will turn down applications by those with
poor grades and/or unsatisfactory attendance.
The Department of Student Life can give you some information on part-time job openings.
Visit Doshisha University website to access part-time job opening. For access and/or registration,
you must have your e-mail address issued by the university. If you have never used the service,
please register and gain your ID as well as password. After registration is completed, access from
your cellular phone is also available.

I In Emergency
To avoid Traffic Accidents
1. Prohibition of Commuting by Car
Commuting to the university by car is strictly prohibited. There have been cases where
problems of compensation for traffic accidents made involved students terminate their study at
the university. If (for purposes other than commuting) you unavoidably have to drive a car, you
must take out Automobile Liability Insurance required by law as compulsory in Japan. Additional
automobile insurance (optional) is recommended to provide sufficient compensation.
[1] Automobile Damage Compensation Liability Insurance (compulsory)
This insurance is stipulated by Japanese law as compulsory and applied for compensation
liability you will incur should you injure or kill someone while driving. Driving without this
insurance will result in penalization. All car owners are required to carry this insurance. Be
careful about the expiry date.
[2] Automobile Insurance (optional)
Above-mentioned Compulsory Automobile Liability Insurance sometimes cannot provide
enough compensation. Therefore, it is recommended that you also take out these types of
insurance to complement the compulsory insurance.
2. Restriction on Commuting by Motorcycle and Bicycle
Due to the traffic conditions around Imadegawa and Kyotanabe Campuses, we would ask you
to refrain from commuting by motorcycle or bicycle if possible. When you have no choice but to
ride a motorcycle, you must take out Motorcycle Liability Insurance, stipulated by Japanese
law as compulsory, and preferably, an optional insurance to provide enough compensation.
Lately there have been an increasing number of motorcycle and bicycle accident involving
Doshisha students have crashes outside of the campus. Studnets can be an assailant or being victims
of the accidents. It is recommended that you enroll in optional coverage. If you do not join the
voluntary insurance, you have to pay the high liability costs for traffic accidents.
Those who have no choice but to ride a motorcycle or a bicycle must use designated parking
areas. Any motorcycles and bicycles left unattended for a long period will be disposed of as
unidentified lost objects. Try to ride your motorcycle or bicycle back home every day. That can
help you avoid theft. Bicycle theft also often occurs outside of campuses. Please be sure to register
your bicycles and lock for theft prevention.
At the Imadegawa campus, it will be prohibited students from commuting by motorcycle (small
motor vehicle and motorcycles) from April 2014 due to the lack of parking area.
Please use the campus shuttle (Free shuttle, Please check the website for detailed information)
when you move between the Imadegawa and Kyotanabe campus.
It's illegal to drive after drinking alcohol. Don't drive drunk.

2. When you get seriously ill / injured
Call 119 for an ambulance. You must tell your name, address, and your condition clearly. If you
are not confident in your Japanese proficiency, ask others around you for help. An ambulance can
take you to the hospital free of charge.
3. When you get caught in a fire
Call 119 for a fire engine. You must clearly tell your name, address, and the situation you are in.
Try not to extinguish the fire by yourself, and cry out loudly for help. If you feel you are in danger,
evacuate the premises immediately. You will not be charged for calling a fire engine. To avoid fires,
always make sure to extinguish any flames you use. Winter in Japan is a dry season, so you should
always take special care in using heating devices.
4. When you have a traffic accident
If someone is injured, call 119 immediately for an ambulance.
Write down the license number, name, address and date of birth of the other party.
Whether you are the person responsible for the accident or a victim, you must immediately report
it to the nearest police station and have a Certificate of Traffic Accident issued. First dial 110,
then report the accident to the police and request their assistance. A police officer will come and
make a record of the accident. The record will serve as an important document that can verify the
accident and help judge the proportion of responsibility.
Ask witnesses, if any, for cooperation and write down their names and contact addresses or phone
numbers.
If possible, take pictures of the site that show the conditions there.
Even if your injury appears less than serious or severe, you must visit a doctor for diagnosis.
If you carry insurance, contact the insurance company as soon as possible.
After these measures are taken, the negotiation between two parties on medical fees and damage
compensations will start. In some cases, the insurance company will intervene and the negotiation
process becomes complicated. If you get into this kind of situation, you should consult Kyoto
prefecture traffic accident consultation office (mentioned below) or ask Japanese people you know
for help. Or you can come to the Office of International Students.
