Notification Methods
Announcements to students from the Center for Education in Liberal Arts and Sciences (CELAS) will be sent via email or the bulletin board. Please adopt the habit of checking the bulletin board and your email every day to avoid possible inconveniences and issues.
Tutor System and Learning Advisors
Individual extracurricular guidance is provided for international students with the aim of improving their Japanese language proficiency and basic academic skills, as well as learning and research results in their major field. This is for all first-year undergraduate international students and second-year students who desire it.
Study Observation Tours
To deepen international students’ understanding of Japanese culture, we aim to provide opportunities for observation tours of historical sites and cultural education centers so that students can come into contact with Japanese history and culture . Students plan visits to chosen travel destinations on their own. These are planned twice a year, once in June and once in November.
