International Exchange
What we do for International Exchange
We provide a variety of support in terms of educational assistance and welfare for international students coming to our university.
We help students with various procedures before entering Japan and provide scholarships for self-financed students and Japanese language education. We always strive to improve the living environment to ensure a comfortable life such as by partially renovating a dormitory.
To nurture medical professionals who can act from an international perspective, we are strengthening English language skills through online medical English group learning, open to all medical science students. We also hold an English Café co-hosted with student clubs during lunch breaks to provide an English environment for international students and students to understand each other's culture and improve their English communication skills through free talks in English.
We promote exchange programs for undergraduate students through inter-university academic exchange agreements, join the Sakura Science Program project that invites high school students from Asia to experience science and technology, and support overseas university students when they visit our university.
