Did you know Tokyo is a global hub of opportunity, where cultures collide and collaborations thrive? One such opportunity lies in the realm of cross-cultural communication. In a city where over 13 million residents coexist harmoniously, Tokyo offers a unique environment for honing cross-cultural communication skills.
This Faculty-Led Program Abroad to Japan: Cross-cultural Communications allows Seneca students to develop cross-cultural communications skills, see how rich history blends seamlessly with new technology, and reflect on intercultural communications practice in Canada.
Diploma and Advanced Diploma students will be eligible to apply for this opportunity. Students will have a two-week learning experience in Tokyo, Japan.
The two weeks in Japan will serve as a hands-on educational component for the course Cross-Cultural Communications (CUL286), designed to complement theoretical and conceptual learning in the classroom.
Delivered in partnership with Absolute Internship, CUL286 is led by Seneca professors.
Packed with field visits, weekend activities, and traditional cultural experiences, participating students will be immersed in Japanese culture while earning academic credit for your program at Seneca. (See below for course credit information.)
Learn more about the opportunity below and apply by Sept. 22.

Traveling students must adhere to all jurisdictional guidelines and/or regulations of their host country and host institution. All accepted students are responsible for ensuring they meet the entry and exit requirements of their destination country. This information is subject to change at any time.
Seneca relies on the Government of Canada’s (GOC) Travel Advice and Advisories and the associated risk level for each destination to assess whether students should engage in an overseas activity. While we make every effort to prepare students for a successful trip overseas, circumstances may arise that are beyond our control.
Students who accept to participate in a global learning opportunity must accept as a condition of participation the possibility that the program may be cancelled or terminated early due to concerns over the safety and security of students. If cancellation or termination occurs, we will refund any payments you have made and withdraw any disbursed grants. Participants may encounter additional and unexpected financial and academic implications. Seneca will work to mitigate negative implications to the best of its ability.
International Students are required to meet with an immigration specialist to ensure their program of study and/or study permit will not be negatively impacted by travelling abroad. This must take place as soon as possible in the application process. Immigration specialists can be reached at theservicehub@senecapolytechnic.ca
