International Exchange
International Exchange with Emphasis on Education
Since the first sister university agreement in 1997 with the Iligan Institute of Technology, Mindanao State University, Philippines, the Faculty of Science of Niigata University has endeavored to make faculty level agreements with overseas universities to promote cooperation in research and education. The number of our sister universities now reaches to 22 (as of December 1, 2014), as shown in the list below. To stimulate student exchanges, we have also concluded student exchange agreements with many of those sisiter universities.
