“Top Global University Project”

Nagaoka University of Technology (NUT) was selected for the“Top Global University Project” launched by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in 2014. Our program is aimed to create“a university that has solid networks with strategic regions in the next-generation and which continues to take a lead in practical, global engineer education that leads the world” through establishing“GIGAKU Education and Research Network,” which expands systems to develop practical engineers, including high schools and KOSEN (National Institute of Technology) to overseas countries and establishing“GIGAKU Techno Park Network,” which expands industry-academia collaboration models to overseas bases.

Integrated Global Campus with Collaboration between Industry, Academia and Government

Network through the International cooperation of Education (GIGAKU Education and Research Network) and International cooperation of Industry-Academia-Government (GIGAKU Techno Park Network). Linking to strategic regions in the next-generation tightly and supporting international co-education and joint research.

GIGAKU Education and Research Network GIGAKU Techno Park Network Developing globally-minded human resources by allowing Promoting Industry-Academia-Government Cooperation students to learn freely across campuses located world- Model at overseas strategic regions and establishing wide, NUT is nurturing engineers who learned basic GIGAKU GIGAKU Techno Park. to the world. 2 EDUCATION PROGRAM LINKED TO THE WORLD International CoCollaborativellaborative EEducationducation

Student Life support NUT provides international students with furnished dormitories (capacity is about 150). For those who choose to reside in private housing, the university provides support with a Guarantor Program.

Academic Life support 30th Anniversary Student House NUT assigns a tutor (usually a master-level Japanese Japanese Class student) to every international student admitted for the period of the initial three months to assist them in their studies and life. NUT runs a variety of Japanese classes for international students to learn Japanese language and culture suited for their needs and language International Student proficiency level. House(for women) One of NUT’ s education policies is to prepare international students in practical Japanese language where possible. Toward this goal NUT has developed fundamental engineering textbooks in “Plain Japanese” and compiled engineering dictionaries for international students. In the following eight languages, Vietnamese, Mongolian, Thai, Chinese, Korean, Malay, Indonesian and Spanish.
