FLA Last Round chance? (September 2026 entry)
How seriously is Attendnace taken in Sophia?
Ive heard that attendance is actually monitored in FLA specifcally but I highly doubt that, is this only enforced by certain professors or throughout the school.
TUJ OR SOPHIA ( for english only learning )
I am a Nepali currently in grade 11 and was thinking of studying bachelors in Tokyo. I don’t speak the Japanese language and don’t plan on staying in Japan long term. Which university would is better in providing learning for business/econ majors in english only??
Semester Abroad 26/27, new people
Wassup, I will hopefully attend a semester abroad beginning in September. I think it would be very helpful to make friends with other people studying at Sophia, before landing in Tokyo. Will anyone else spend a semester in autumn 26/27? Of course I would also appreciate people who have started their studies already at Sophia. Looking forward to y‘all :)
Question about MA in Linguistics
Hello!
I've found out that Sophia University has an MA in Linguistics, which I'm quite interested in.
I'd like to know if the MA is indeed taught in both English and Japanese (it seems that way according to Sophia Graduate School of Language's website) and how high is the Japanese level used in classes in general, if any of you know.
For reference I've passed the N2 in the past (which I don't think it's a good measure tbh, as it doesn't evaluate your ability to speak and write content, for example). Are there any intensive Japanese courses offered by the Uni if needed?
Thanks a lot!
