The University welcomes international students who come to study with Japanese students under a variety of programs and arrangements, including international students who enroll in the regular curriculum of an undergraduate faculty or graduate school in order to earn a degree, reciprocal exchange students, research students and trainees.
International Students Enrolled in University Faculties and Graduate Schools
The University welcomes international students seeking to earn a bachelorʼs, masterʼs, or doctoral degree by enrolling in the regular curriculum of one of its faculties or graduate schools. International students from countries like China, South Korea, and Vietnam study alongside the rest of the Universityʼs students.
Reciprocal Exchange Students
The University accepts reciprocal exchange students from overseas partner universities for a period of one year or one semester. These international students study undergraduate courses as well as courses on Japanese language and culture designed specifically for exchange students based on their Japanese proficiency. They also deepen their exchanges with students at the University by participating actively in extracurricular activities.
Research Students
Many international students work as research students, carrying out specific research in the Universityʼs faculties and graduate schools. Some research students continue their studies in the Universityʼs graduate schools after completing their research.
Short-term International Students
Short-term students from overseas partner universities visit the University for about two weeks for training centering on Japanese language and culture, during which time they also deepen exchanges with the Universityʼs students.
