Support for Student Life in Japan
Chubu University supports international students by enhancing our organization and systems so that they can lead fulfilling student lives. A wide variety of support services are available for living independently in Japan and learning Japanese, as well as for classes, extracurricular activities, and well-being.
Support Offices for International Students
Students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate courses can contact the Department of Academic Affairs and Student Services, and short-term international exchange students from partner universities can contact the Center for International Affairs. The Center for International Affairs is also in charge of the Japanese Language Program for international graduate students.
Department of Academic Affairs and Student Services (for undergraduate/graduate students)
International students can receive the same support as Japanese students, such as support for living alone in Japan, classes and extracurricular activities, as well as job hunting in Japan. If you have any problems, first contact the Department of Academic Affairs and Student Services on the 4th and the 5th floors of the Active Plaza.
Center for International Affairs (for exchange students from partner universities)
The Center for International Affairs is in charge of receiving short-term exchange students from partner universities abroad. We also offer programs for international students and Japanese students to interact with each other. The Center for International Affairs is located on the second floor of the Campus Plaza.
