Nagasaki Junshin Catholic University is run by the Congregation of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, a Catholic religious congregation founded in Nagasaki in 1934 to promote women's education. Located amid tranquil surroundings in Nagasaki's hills, it offers several taught degree courses from Bachelor to Doctoral level. Although its student base is predominantly female, it welcomes applications from both male and female international students interested in applying for one of the study programs listed below. The university sits on a spacious campus with a beautiful view looking out to sea. Campus facilities include a cafeteria, a convenience store, a coffee machine, tennis courts, a sports hall, a library, computer rooms, and a museum. Next door to the university, the Sisters run a nursing home for atomic bomb victims. In 1981, it received a visit from Pope John Paul II. Nagasaki is a unique place to learn about Japan. Located within a picturesque bay and surrounded by luscious green mountains, the city offers a stunning backdrop to study abroad. Historically Nagasaki is one of Japan's most important cities, owing mainly to its fascinating 450-year long history of cultural exchange. Several of Nagasaki's historical locations were set to be listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites in 2018. Students will be given a unique window into Japan through an engaging combination of daily Japanese lessons, special lectures (in English), and fieldwork trips. The sites they visit will include a remote area of mountainous countryside where Japan's Hidden Christians secretly kept their faith (set to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2018) and a nursing home for atomic bomb survivors. Throughout the summer school, an emphasis will be placed on cross-cultural exchange, and it is hoped that by the end of their time with us, students will have made new friends from both Japan and across the world! Each participant will be offered the chance to stay with a Japanese host family during their Nagasaki stay. It is hoped that this experience will allow them to immerse themselves in Japanese culture during their stay. Two meals (breakfast and supper) will be provided each day. The summer school will be conducted in English. If English is not their first language, participants are expected to understand, read, and discuss a range of academic content in English. They should, therefore, possess an advanced level of English. The proposed cost of the homestay is 15,000 yen. The proposed cost of the one-week summer school is 20,000 yen. Participants are also advised to bring a small amount of money to cover daily expenses. The participant will meet the cost of traveling between Nagasaki and their home country. We envisage that successful completion of the summer school will result in each student gaining an appropriate number of academic credits at their home institution. In the Japanese system, successful completion of the summer school is worth two academic credits.- Nagasaki Junshin Catholic University is run by the Congregation of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, a Catholic religious congregation founded in Nagasaki in 1934 to promote women's education.
