[Student's Voice]
◎ Name: Ma Qianqian
・I study with international students and exchange students from various countries, so the atmosphere in the classes is interesting.
・The school environment is beautiful and it is easy to study. When I don't understand something, the staff at the International Exchange Center and my teachers help me.
- Regarding class goals, I have the opportunity to teach outside of school, and there are also extracurricular activities, so I am enjoying a truly rich university life.
・There are also free study courses available at ICAFÉ.

[Professor's Voice]
◎ Name: Tomohiro Serizawa
Professor, Department of Japanese Studies (for international students)
This department is characterized by three pillars. One is Japanese language education that can be learned from any level in a small class. The second is a curriculum that allows students to learn a wide range of Japanese culture and society. The third is "narralogy" to learn about Nara in the age of globalization. Furthermore, there is also a Japanese teacher training course.
