Comments/PR on exchanges
IUJ has an extensive list of partner schools with exchange agreement. The aim of exchange programs is to give students various opportunities to learn in different educational environments and to broaden their horizons. Up to ten credits earned at the host institution may be transferred. No extra tuition is necessary at the host institution. However, students must pay for their travel and living expenses.
Environment
IUJ is situated ten minutes outside the town of Urasa (population 15,000) in the north-western part of Japan, about 100 minutes from Tokyo by a bullet train. The pace of life in Urasa is relaxed, allowing for plenty of time to study or to get out and about and enjoy the natural surroundings. Downhill skiing at Urasa's ski resorts is relatively cheap, cross-country skiing is always free. After a day on the slopes, the Urasa hot spring is a worthy destination.
Service for International Students
All the courses are conducted entirely in English (for both Japanese and oversea students). Various levels of Japanese language courses are offered as elective courses. There are scholarships offered by several foundations for non-Japanese students. Private dormitory rooms are available for single students, and there are 18 rooms in the dormitory for married students.
