Exchange Program
The University of Hyogo welcomes international students from our partner universities! As a university open to the world, we welcome students from various backgrounds and countries. In order to create an environment where international exchange can naturally take place, we are keen to invite exchange students.
Application Procedures for Partner Universities
How to apply
Information concerning exchange programs' applications will be sent to the coordinator in charge at our partner university twice a year. We will send "Information Sheet" and other application documents, and announce the deadline for the application.
Information will be provided around July to August for the acceptance for the 1st semester. For the 2nd semester, it will be around January to February.
University of Hyogo cannot respond to requests from students or third parties, so students who are interested in applying must request the information through their home universities.
Application Requirements
Language requirements and conditions differ depending on the host school. We will send you an Annex which shows the conditions of each school and courses for receiving exchange students; please check the guidelines.
