We offer those students environment that satisfies their needs, for example, dormitory, scholarship system, and so on. Globalization Promotion Center has been established in Tempaku Campus for supporting the students in leading quality campus life while cooperating with other organizations. Additionally, the Student Assistant (SA) of the student volunteer group (link to site in Japanese) has been active in supporting practice of studies and learning Japanese as well as offering opportunities of international exchange for those students by holding the training course concerning Japanese culture, and planning the field trip.

As our efforts to accept the students from abroad and to provide quality education contents have been highly rated, we have won the prizes for "study abroad AWARD in the category of the university (science and technology) in Western Japan" in three successive years from fiscal 2015 to 2017, showing that Meijo University is selected by the teaching staffs working for Japanese Language Schools in Japan as the school recommendable to the international students.

Basically, in Meijo University, lectures will be given in Japanese except the case of specific course of the graduate school, program, and subject.
