Gifu University
University Short Description
OutlineGifu University is a mid-sized university with five faculties, four master’s programs, one
professional degree program, two doctoral programs and three united graduate schools.
With the relocation of the school of medicine and university hospital in 2004, all faculties andschools are now located on a single campus. In addition, buildings and research facilities
for third through sixth year students of Gifu Pharmaceutical University moved onto the same
campus.
Excellent Practice
Recently, we have had major success in becoming a national model through various
activities ranging from local community work, to international efforts. These have included
becoming a Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s Center forCommunity (COC), creating advanced type COC+ projects, both of which have attained thehighest evaluation of “S” for Gifu University, forming an agricultural science consortium
consisting of 16 universities in South Asia (IC-GU12: International Consortium of
Universities in South and Southeast Asia for the Doctoral Education in Agricultural Scienceand Biotechnology), and creating an international engineering network of 44 universities.
The university also offers various courses including a “Program to Develop Human
Resources with Expertise in Dies,” a “Maintenance Expert Fostering Program” formaintenance and operation of infrastructure, a “Professional Degree Program” for highlyprofessional personnel in school administration, an Emergency Medical Network
Development Program, and an International Studies in Liberal Arts. We consider that our
duty is to further raise Gifu University’s presence not only in Central Japan areas, but also
throughout Japan and overseas and to win even greater praise from students, theirguardians, local residents and taxpayers through these efforts.
Internationalization
The global expansion of the university is of particular importance. We will continue toincrease exchanges between universities to make it possible to accept more than the 400
international students who study at the university now. Additionally, our goals are to ascertain
the various needs (problems faced) in regions where Gifu University students study, toconduct research and study and develop solutions to these problems, and in this way to truly
make contributions overseas. To this end, we will start the four Joint Degree Programs for
Master’s and Doctoral Degree with overseas universities in 2019. As this new initiative ismanifesting itself, we firmly believe that it is important to undertake internationalization
rooted in local communities and provide “glocal” services that provide local communities inJapan and overseas with the benefits from those efforts. We use the same approach forother activities that contribute to local communities in Japan and consider this the essenceof our COC and COC+ projects.

Toyohashi University of Technology
University Short Description
The mission of Toyohashi University of Technology (TUT) is to conduct research andeducation in technological science, developing new technologies through scientific inquiry.
Based on this mission, TUT targets new graduates from technical colleges and high schoolsfor enrollment, and with its graduate school emphasis, TUT conducts research intechnological science, fostering practical, creative, and leading engineers and researchers
as it forges a path toward a new era.
A major feature of TUT's education is its "spiral-up curriculum". In this curriculum, students
who received specific technical instruction (basic and specialized) in their first and second
years of undergraduate education and technical college will repeat the subjects from their
third year with more advanced approaches in order to accumulate further competence intheir basic and specialized education, creating a spiral-like education.
In their fourth undergraduate year (before advancing to graduate school), students will
undertake long-term internships in the business sector, and through their experiences indealing with problems as a working engineer, they will come to understand the meaning of
their education, and how the master's program is meant to create practical, creative, andinnovative engineers.
In this way, TUT is able to nurture students who understand science and have a deep interestin technology due to their repetition of basic and specialized education and their practicaltraining in the work place.
As a globally focused university, TUT sends Japanese students abroad, accepts
international students, and promotes joint international research and personnel exchanges
through collaborations with its overseas education base established in Penang State,
Malaysia and other affiliated exchange schools. These activities are mainly centered on thearea of Southeast Asia.

Seisen University
University Short Description
Seisen University is a small women’s Catholic liberal arts university located in the heart ofTokyo, and it has strong connection with Spain and Spanish-speaking countries from the
beginning. Seisen means “fountain of purity (fuente de pureza)” in Japanese, and was
originally founded in 1935 to educate young women in Japan by the religious congregationof Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Esclavas del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús).
The congregation had been started by a Spanish sister Santa Rafaela María Porras who isoriginally from Pedro Abad, a village near Córdoba. When Seisen officially started as auniversity after the second world war, in 1950, the first president was an Argentinian sister,
Madre Ernestina Ramallo.
Seisen has established a solid position in providing higher education for women in Japan.
It now has five departments at undergraduate level: Department of Spanish Language andLiterature; Department of Japanese Language and Literature; Department of English
Language and Literature; Department of Cultural History, and Department of Global
Citizenship Studies. Although undergraduate degree programs are for women only,
Seisen’s graduate school is co-ed. There are three programs at Master’s level (Language
and Culture, Thought and Culture, and Global Citizenship Studies), and one program at
Doctor’s level (Doctor’s program in Humanities).
Because of its relatively small size (less than 2000 students), Seisen University offers
students a personal and at-home ambiance.
Seisen has 36 international partner
institutions in 13 countries (as of August 2018), out of which 9 are Spanish institutions. We
welcome about 10 exchange students for a semester or two every year mainly from our
Asian partners. These exchange students find it easy to make friends and get accustomed
to the life at Seisen because of our intimate and at-home atmosphere. Seisen also
welcomes international students from our partner universities for tailor-made short term
Japanese language and culture programs for one to two weeks.
Seisen recently refurbished one floor of the convent and turned it into a student dormitory of
13 rooms (women only). The dormitory is within 5 minutes’ walk from the university and is
expected to offer a very reasonable rent in the center of Tokyo. The dormitory will start
accepting students from March 2019, and we hope the dormitory will help us welcome moreinternational students to Seisen.
