Welcome Event for New International Students
Every year, we hold a welcome event for international students who arrive in April and in October.
It provides a great opportunity for them to talk with academic advisors, tutors, and senior international students to exchange information.
Cultural Field Trip
The Global Center organizes a “cultural field trip” three times a year; these provide international students with opportunities to experience and understand Japanese culture, history, and tradition, visiting places in the Kansai region.
In spring and autumn, a day-trip bus tour is organized to visit places in Kansai. In winter, we go and see Sumo matches in Osaka.
