Academic Advice

To encourage students’ academic achievement and smooth acclimation to Oita University, academic advisors are assigned to individual international students. Advisors are available during office hours and via appointment.

Information Services

International Office staff are available to provide international students with various forms of information which will be helpful during their stay in Oita. The office schedule is listed here.

Tutoring Services

Field trip

New international students are paired with Japanese students during their first month after arrival; these “tutors” will help them acclimate to life in Oita. If international students need Japanese language tutors, their academic advisors can help them find a language tutor appropriate to their needs. If students need tutors in subjects other than Japanese language, they should discuss this with the advisors in their assigned faculty/department.
