International Exchange

When students from the School of Economics study abroad at overseas universities that have exchange agreements with the University of Toyama, the candidate destinations for studying abroad are universities with either departmental exchange agreements or university-wide exchange agreements.
One advantage of studying at these partner universities is that students generally do not have to pay admission fees or tuition fees at the host university (except for some universities).
Additionally, credits earned at the host university are recognized as credits earned at the University of Toyama, and the study abroad period is included in the student's enrollment period at the School of Economics.
