Course Overview
With over 800 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) The Global 30 (G30) international programmes, 2) Non-G30 English-taught courses, including those taught by the Institute of Liberal Arts and Sciences (ILAS), and 3) Japanese language courses, and 4) regular courses taught in Japanese.
1.GLOBAL 30 INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMMES
Nagoya University offers 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.
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.
