Greeting from the Director
Welcome to the webpage of the Office for International Academic Support (OIAS) in the Faculty of Science, Hokkaido University!! The OIAS believes in the power of diversity and inclusiveness in science.
The OIAS is here to support prospective, current, and past international students and staff in the School of Science, Graduate School of Science, Graduate School of Life Science, Graduate School of Chemical Sciences & Engineering, and Faculty of Science. Our multi-lingual staffs are here to ease your anxiety and transition to Japanese/foreign culture and communities. We encourage all of you to visit our office as often as possible. We are here to listen to your opinions and ideas on how to improve your life in Japan and our school, graduate schools, and faculty.
Likewise, the OIAS would like to hear news from our alumni. Once you are in our school, graduate schools, and faculty, you are always a part of our “Science Family” and we would like to in touch with you.
If you are international students who are interested in attending or visiting our school and graduate schools, we strongly recommend you to contact us as soon as possible. Our knowledgeable staff will guide you through the admission process step-by-step.
I hope the information here is useful to you. If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact us.
