Credit System
One Japanese credit represents 45 hours of study. There is no specific "full work load" for exchange students, but we advise international students to take at least 10 - 12 credits (450 - 540 hours) per semester to maintain their "student" status of residence in Japan. The maximum number of credits a student can take in one semester is 24 (1080 hours).
