In September 2017, Graduate School of Human Sciences, the University of Tsukuba established an International Joint Degree Master’s Program in Agro-Biomedical Science in Food and Health (GIP-TRIAD). This program is a graduate-level joint program conducted by three universities in Japan, Asia, and Europe: the University of Tsukuba, the University of Bordeaux (France) and National Taiwan University (Taiwan).
The students who comes from each university study global-scale issues: “Food and Health” at three universities together.
From September 1 to 9, students from France and Taiwan arrived at the University of Tsukuba where they will spend the 1st semester (1st semester: September to February). We operate a tutor system at the University of Tsukuba which is intended to assist foreign students arriving in Japan in smoothly setting up their daily lives here (to assist with procedure for entering a dormitory, opening a bank account, setting up mobile phone and insurance contracts, etc.). We also recommend that students on this program stay at the same dormitory so that they can cooperate with each other to begin their student life here without a hitch.
