It is my pleasure to welcome the beginning of a new year, and I sincerely wish you all a very happy new year for 2021.

Starting this January, a new common university entrance exam will begin to replace the National Centre Test. In accordance with this, Aoyama Gakuin University will be introducing a new method of entrance examinations from this February.
Currently, not only entrance examinations, but various other changes are required from universities. It is in these times of transition that we must reaffirm the unchanging foundation that we have always maintained.
Faculty and staff will work together to ensure our “Aoyama-ness” in the spirit of the school motto of “The Salt of the Earth, The Light of the World”.
We ask for your understanding and support.
January, 2021
President, SAKAMOTO Hiroshi
