Advising & Counseling
Consultation Services for International Students
At the Center for International Education and Exchange (CIEE), international students can access consultations provided by faculty advisors for student counseling, working in collaboration with psychological and student life counselors. Together, they help students address a wide range of concerns and challenges.
Consultations are open not only to international students themselves but also to related parties. If you would like to seek advice, please visit the Center and first speak with the front desk staff.
If you need to meet directly with a faculty advisor for student counseling due to specific circumstances, we will arrange an appointment. Please contact us in advance by email at iris[at]ciee.osaka-u.ac.jp.
All consultations are strictly confidential, and your privacy will be fully protected.
