Global education at YCU




The International Affairs Office warmly welcomes you to YCU's international community of more than 100 international students, and scholars representing over 100 countries. We invite you to utilize the office and this website as a resource for information and appropriate referral and wish you a productive and enjoyable stay here at YCU.
 
The International Affairs Office provides various forms of support in an effort to help with international students' transition to life in Japan and to improve their experience while studying in Yokohama.
Orientation


We hold orientations before the start of each semester in which we provide details on registration, on the services available at YCU, and on life in general in Yokohama.
Health Management Center


Maintaining a healthy mind and body is essential to have a fulfilling student life. That is why we encourage students to take full advantage of the Student Health Center. There is always a nurse at the center who can administer first-aid treatment for open wounds or conduct general medical examinations and consultations.

Japanese Language Courses


YCU offers a wide range of Japanese language courses. For those with no Japanese language skills, learning the basics can be very useful for everyday life in Japan, while those who have a head start on the road to fluency will appreciate the intermediate and more advanced levels we also propose.

The main goal of the program is to provide career development support to international students in terms of Japanese language education, job-hunting support as well as internship placements.
