※ Academic Exchange with specific department of research laboratories at foreign institutions Support for International Students

Student Life support NUT furnishes international students with 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 International 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.

Multilingual engineering Original textbooks in “Plain Japanese” terminology dictionaries.
