"Bringing the world together"

Sophia is located in central Tokyo, near Japan's political, financial, business and cultural centers. Founded by the Jesuits in 1913, Sophia University has been a pioneer in international education in Japan, attracting students from all over the world. In 1949, Sophia established the first program in Japan taught entirely in English, and it continues to lead the Japanese academic world in offering international programs.

At the undergraduate level, all classes in the Faculty of Liberal Arts, Green Science and Green Engineering (both offered by the Faculty of Science and Technology), and the Sophia Program for Sustainable Futures (SPSF), are taught in English. The other faculties teach primarily in Japanese, but there has been a steady increase in classes offered in English.

Undergraduate students are encouraged to gain a broad base of knowledge in many fields, as well as advanced knowledge in their majors. The curriculum is designed to allow students to take advantage of classes offered by other faculties. In the autumn of 2020, Sophia introduced the SPSF, a new program taught in English that offers bachelor's degrees in seven fields of study: journalism, education, sociology, economics, management, international relations and area studies.

At the graduate level, Sophia also offers many programs conducted entirely in English: Global Studies (specializations in Global Studies, International Business and Development Studies or Japanese Studies); Green Science and Engineering; Global Environmental Studies; TESOL; Education. These programs have an exceptionally high percentage of international students and provide a vibrant and diverse learning environment for everyone.
