futureMessage from the President
Thank you for your interest in the G30 Program at Nagoya University.
I invite you to apply to our institution and meet other students
addressing the world’s most significant problems. Why study at Nagoya
University? Your career goals might be consistent with the fundamental
objectives of our Academic Charter. First, we support all faculty andstudents so they can engage in the highest levels of research. In 2014,
Seiichi Matsuo, D. Med.
President of Nagoya University

two of our colleagues, Professor Amano and Professor Emeritus Akasaki,
received the Nobel Prize in Physics for their inquiries that contributed tothe development of the Blue Light-Emitting-Diode. Second, we provide
students with an exemplary education because of our small class sizes
and insistence on practical training and research skills. Third, we aim
to improve society. As I noted, our faculty members developed the BlueLED in a laboratory on our campus. Today, billions of people in every
country use this technology in smartphones, television screens, andenergy-efficient light bulbs. Finally, Nagoya University continues toexpand its networks abroad and build a global campus at home. Moreof our Japanese students are studying overseas and taking classes inEnglish, and we are increasing the number of international students
from a diverse variety of countries. I hope you will join us as we pursue
making Nagoya University a place where everyone can develop into
what we call a “courageous intellectual,” a person unafraid to pursue thegoals of inquiry and scholarship and a person committed to making theworld a better place.

Japan-in-Asia Cultural Studies Program (JACS)• English-taught programs• Students communicate and learn to collaborate with people from a diverse range ofnationalities and educational backgrounds

During the 1st semester, I usually had 3-4 classes (Mon-Fri) of 1.5
hours each. After coming back to the dorm at around 4:30 PM, I had tocomplete the given homework and study for tests. I always had to
manage time carefully. Apart from academic work, I even had to cook
food, clean my room and do my laundry. Although I had a busy
schedule during the weekdays, I would try to keep a light weekend.
During the weekend I would go for early morning jogs or go to playsome sports (football, basketball, etc.) with friends. We would often go
and try out new restaurants. When very stressed out, some of myfriends and I would often go for karaoke, watch movies, walk around
Nagoya or even play online multiplayer games!

• All students receive Japanese language education. Students with high Japanese language
proficiency can choose from other languages offered.
