School characteristics

Founded in 1926, we will celebrate our 100th anniversary in 2026!
【 School characteristics 】
● 2026年、SHOBIは創立100周年を迎えました！
● SHOBIが留学生の受入れを始めたのが1975年4月。以来51年間で、39の国と地域から1000人を超える留学生がSHOBIで学び、巣立っていっています。
● We invite external corporate auditions to the campus, hold theme park recruitment information sessions, and discover campus artists and nurture them until they make their major debut.
We provide various types of support, including an "employment support program" that incorporates various courses that begin immediately after enrollment, and company information sessions in which we invite over 100 companies each year.
●For those who wish to obtain a degree, there is a recommendation system for transfer to the third year of the adjacent Shobi University (comprehensive credit recognition and full exemption from enrollment fees).
● The Department of Performing Arts and the Department of Entertainment Staff will be opened from 2026.
●If you are a beginner in music and would like to enroll, please participate in the open campus until July.

【International Student Support System, etc】
● Procedural support: We provide "one-stop" support in English, Chinese, and Korean, from participating in open campus events to completing the necessary procedures for enrollment.
● Support for obtaining status of residence/We have been designated as an "Appropriate School (Excellent School for Enrollment Management)" by the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau. In principle, you can obtain a 2-year or 4-year "Student" status of residence. We also handle visa renewal procedures and applications for permission to engage in activities other than those permitted, reducing the burden on international students.
● Lifestyle support: We provide support in all aspects of life, such as introducing affiliated student halls, resolving problems related to life in Japan, and providing information on medical institutions in case of emergency.
● Scholarship support: We provide international students with information about scholarships both within and outside the university, as well as information on scholarship applications, and support them in applying for scholarships.
●Career support/We provide support with job hunting and information on further education for international students who wish to continue their studies.
●For those who wish to obtain a degree, there is a recommendation system for transfer to the third year of the adjacent Shobi University (comprehensive credit recognition and full exemption from enrollment fees).

[Student's Voice]
◎Name: Lin Zhaolin ◎Arrangement and Composition Department ◎Country of Origin: Taiwan
大学卒業後、来日し、日本で国際交流に関する仕事に携わってきました。仕事の合間に楽器を習い始め、作曲を本格的に勉強したく、仕事を退職し、尚美に入学しました。尚美では、第一線で活躍している著名な先生方から直接学ぶことができ、また設備も整っているため、自分に一番相応しい音楽との関わり方を探索できる素晴らしい環境だと思います。将来は、音作りをライフワークとして続けながら、今まで仕事で積んできた経験を活かし、日本と台湾と世界の音楽を通じて交流事業などに役に立つ仕事をしたいです。
