The Foreign Exchange Student Program
Year after year, international exchange among researchers and students at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration is becoming increasingly active. Nearly 1% of the students in the Faculty of Economics have studied abroad or undertaken language training in a foreign country. Furthermore, Graduate School students are also active in visiting or studying at graduate schools overseas for research purposes.
As of the year 2005, Hokkaido University had signed an intercollegiate exchange agreement with 39 colleges in 13 countries. Some of these include agreements concerning exchange student and credit-transfer programs. The Graduate School has independently signed agreements with research institutions at six colleges in five countries.
In 2004, some of our students studied at Massachusetts University, Portland State University (USA), Goteborg University (Sweden), Strasbourg University (France), and Yonsei University (South Korea), through these exchange program.
The number of foreign students, undergraduate and graduate, studying at the Graduate School of Economics and Business Administration at Hokkaido University has been on the increase. Students come from many different countries and, in terms of both research and campus life, the Graduate School has become a venue of international exchange.
