Our campus is open to the world

The internationalization of Tohoku University is proceeding at a rapid pace. The Graduate School / Faculty of Arts and Letters hosts many international students and runs numerous short- and long-term exchange programs. At the same time, many of our domestic students are currently preparing to participate in similar programs, or are already studying abroad.

The International Exchange Division was founded to support exchange students. You can consult our staff regarding administrative procedures and paperwork in Japan, as well as the specifics of the Japanese education system. Likewise, we have comprehensive information about partner universities overseas. If you ever need advice, please feel free to visit us.

Furthermore, we organize various events in collaboration with the International Oasis. Established by the four graduate schools and faculties of the humanities and social sciences (Arts and Letters, Economics, Education, and Law), the International Oasis is located on the 1st floor of the New Humanities Building on the Kawauchi South Campus.
