Since their foundations, the Hokkaido University Faculty, Graduate School and School of Education have deepened exchanges with universities, other educational institutions and individual researchers in numerous countries and regions across the world. Currently, the Graduate School and School of Education host international students from various countries and regions.

In addition to these university-wide agreements, the Faculty, Graduate School and School of Education have departmental exchange agreements (MOUs) with the following 12 universities and research institutions (as of December 14, 2020)

The Hokkaido Summer Institute (HSI) is an educational program in which leading researchers brought together from around the world provide courses between June and October in partnership with Hokkaido University faculty members. Students not only from Hokkaido University but also from other universities in Japan and beyond can attend these state-of-the-art classes taught in English, which allows our students to feel as if they were studying abroad while still on campus.
HSI offers a wide variety of courses, students can find many options within and outside their field of study. It is a tremendous opportunity for them to take a step forward through new experiences with overseas students.
