The International Center (IC) organizes various events for international students during the year. From homestays and Kabuki shows to Japanese floral arrangement demonstrations and everything in between, students are offered the opportunities to experience Japanese culture together with other international students to share each other’s culture in addition to learning about their host country’s. To meet the specific needs of our international students, we have a dedicated team providing a wide range of services.

The International Center (IC) invites both international and Japanese students to our "Coffee Meeting", a fun chat meeting we hold every other month. It is an event where students enjoy games and activities together over coffee/juice with snacks. This is a great chance to make friends with AGU students from all over the world.
Faculty members are assigned as "advisors" and Japanese students as "tutors" in each faculty to help international students. Advisors answer questions regarding classes and life in Japan, while tutors assist in both academic and personal matters so they can quickly adjust to the new environment in Japan.
Chat Room, open every weekday, facilitates international exchange through communication in English, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. In the English/Chinese/Korean sessions, international students serve as "Chat Leaders" who lead discussions to promote cultural exchange and at the same time help improve communication skills in a casual setting. The Japanese sessions, on the other hand, are designed for international students who want to learn about Japanese culture and improve their Japanese conversation skills.
