OUSSEP is a one-academic year program specially designed for
students from abroad who have completed at least two years of undergraduate
programs at their home institutions and who are interested in studying at Osaka
University in a Japanese academic environment. However students need not be
fluent in Japanese, because the official language of OUSSEP is English. Students
majoring in any field of study are welcome to OUSSEP.
OUSSEP is open to students from institutions that have concluded
an Inter-University (or Inter-Faculty) Student
Exchange Agreement with Osaka University.* Students are expected
to register and pay tuition fees at their home institutions and to return there,
after finishing OUSSEP, to continue their academic programs.
* OUSSEP is strictly an exchange program and does not accept students from other institutions.
Osaka University has concluded Inter-University or Inter-Faculty
Academic Exchange Agreements that include provisions for mutual tuition waiver
and credit transfer with more than one hundred universities around the world.
