Course Overview

With over 1,000 courses taught in English, (and many more in Japanese), students participating in NUPACE have a variety of study options open to them. Provided that they meet the academic and linguistic requirements of the classes in question, they may devise individual semester/year-based course loads, choosing units from 1) G30 international programmes, 2) the NUPACE academic programme, and 3) regular courses taught in Japanese.

1.GLOBAL 30 INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMMES


Nagoya University has opened ten undergraduate and eleven graduate degree programmes taught entirely in English, known as the “Nagoya University Global 30 International Programmes”, or simply “G30 Programmes”. Courses comprising the G30 programmes are, in principle, open to exchange students, and a large number of NUPACE students are taking advantage of the opportunity to register for them.

NB. Irrespective of whether they wish to register for G30 courses, applicants to NUPACE should apply directly to the NUPACE Office, following procedures laid down in this prospectus and on the programme website, viewable at http://nupace.iee.nagoya-u.ac.jp/en/. G30 programme admission requirements and procedures do NOT apply to exchange students.

* Due to the limited duration of their exchange and subsequent safety concerns, NUPACE Special Undergraduate Students and Special Graduate Students are generally not permitted to enrol in G30 courses with laboratory content. This applies, in particular, to the disciplines of Chemistry and Physics, as taught both by the School of Science and School of Engineering.
