（2）Senior students will have an off-campus internship for one year. This department arranges for internships in Japan or exchanges students with a cooperative Japanese university. Thus, in the first semester of the second year, it is required to reach Japanese assessment N2 class or above; otherwise, the student cannot continue with other courses. Also, restaurant and hotel service practice and other relevant courses must be studied in the first and second years to reduce possible problems in the internship.
Every student is expected to spend one year in an internship in Japan. It is essential to promote the Japanese language and learn from the working spirit of Japanese, to benefit from learning their service methods.
