You can also ask your professors to find out if your school has something worked out with SE or another company to do internships. Usually, they are in the know about those kinds of things, or they will tell you who to contact in the industry.

These sorts of things, although they are sometimes posted publicly, almost always result from knowing who to talk to or which route to go up in the chain of command. And it usually starts with your professors giving you that liason.

As far as degree goes, there are several positions SE as a company can hire you for. Marketing and Relations, Translation/Localization, Special Effects (Animation), Game Development (animation + game programming), Concept and Development (preproduction, character/environment designs).

And since we're speaking about SE specifically, although it may not state so on a job posting, Japanese fluency is a GREAT thing to have on a resume, and will surely boost your odds of finding work/internship with the company.
