Support for International Students

We have a dedicated team providing a wide range of services to meet the specific needs of our international students.

International Center

International Center is the first contact point for international students. This office deals with all study abroad and international exchange programs, and is responsible for visa applications, orientation etc. International Students have access to a range of support programs and learning opportunities.

Social & Cultural Events

The International Center organizes a number of cultural activities and social events throughout the year, to provide international students with the opportunities to experience traditional Japanese culture and socialize with Japanese students.

Events organized by the International Center include ...

Advisors & Tutors

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.

Aoyama Gakuin Chat Room (Aoyama Campus)

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.
