Starts in April and in September. 4 days a week (90min 4 per week) for 1 academic term.kanji Class (Basic / Intermediate) Starts in April and in October. Twice a week (90min 2 per week) for 1 academic term. Possible to take along the above Japanese class. Japanese Classes with Credits Japanese Language courses (Intermediate/Advanced) and General Affairs of Japan are offered as regular University courses, for graduate and undergraduate students, throughout the year. Before taking these courses, take placement test and register for the course as other subjects. NUT International Students Association (NUTISA) NUTISA aims to build mutual friendship among the international students as well as the Japanese students of NUT, through annual activities like Nagaoka International Festival and dance parties. There are also a wide range of sports, cultural clubs and associations that are open to all students. Cultural Activities Any special attention to Religious Practice facilities (Library etc) MUTSUMI-kai They sponsors several events and activities for international students such as speech contest, zazen, bazaar, and hiking and onsen-trip on an annual basis. Division of International Affairs (Kokusai-ka) offers various events and Cultural Exchange activities. e.g.) Study Trip for International Students (in early October) Party for International Students (in mid December) Ski/Snowboard Training Trip (in early March) Also, Throughout the year, invitations for various international exchange activities arrive, involving different parties, including elementary schools and communities around NUT. They are great opportunities for you to get acquainted with many local Japanese from diverse age group. HALAL meats are served in university cafeteria.

Message to Prospective International Students Message from University Nagaoka University of Technology was founded in 1976 based on a philosophy of creating science and technology, namely, "GIGAKU", as well as nurturing practical and creative engineers through that it would work in tandem with society-at-large. Since then, we have stayed true to this 13

14 distinct and clearly defined orientation, and we have turned out about 25,000 graduates, most of them have come to our university from colleges of technology as well as vocational high schools to deepen their studies. Most of the students who gather here already possessed a strong sense of purpose at the time of their graduation from middle school, their goal to find a place in the world of technology: through their diligent studies at a college of technology or vocational high school, they absorbed a deep sense of GIGAKU. Our university offers such students a seamless educational experience through graduate school, by virtue of which we are producing the future leading lights of GIGAKU, capable of activity that is at once both long-term and strategic. Our university offers a consistent scheme of research and education, unique and unequalled in the world. This scheme freely. Such a scheme, which cannot be realized at a general university, makes it possible to put advanced programs into practice, and to announce distinguished research results. These programs and results have become the stands for higher education and research organizations. In August of 2011, this NUT formulated a stratagem for medium- and long-term growth and an action plan by which to carry out its objectives. In accordance with this plan, we have initiated activities with our eyes fixed on the world that we expect to be living in 10 and even 30 years in the future. Under circumstances in which further innovation of universities is strongly called for, we will continue to develop and more forward on the path that we are forging, creating a deeper expression of our founding principle of GIGAKU as a cornerstone of manufacturing for a new age based on the needs of society. Through these efforts, we will continue to cultivate talented personnel with practical skills and creative minds who can anticipate the future and contribute meaningfully at the global level. This is our raison d'etre, our purpose, as a university. Voice of International Students None 14
