Academic
For STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), Architecture, Economics, and Design courses, enrollment is not guaranteed for exchange students whose majors are different.
Admission to these courses is reviewed case by case. Professors and academic staff will consider your major and academic record from your home university before approving enrollment.
Please note that some courses may not be offered every semester. The availability of English-taught courses depends on faculty decisions, so courses listed now may become unavailable in future semesters.
In addition, some courses are restricted to specific majors only, such as:
- Electrical and Computer Engineering majors only
- Architecture majors only
- Materials Science and Engineering majors only
- Business majors only
During the course registration period, courses have a limited number of seats for exchange students. If a course is already full, you may only register if a seat becomes available during the first week of the semester.
Updated syllabi will be provided during the course registration period.

Certificate of MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella)
To meet the requirements, your Certificate of MMR must include two clearly visible dates for your MMR vaccinations.
The certificate must be written in English, and your name, along with the two vaccination dates, should be clearly visible on a single page.
(If the original documents are not in English, a seal from a qualified translator is sufficient for translated documents.)
If your local health department or hospital is unable to issue this certificate, you will need to consult with a doctor.
The doctor must provide a statement confirming that you have antibodies or clear indications of immunity from two MMR vaccinations.
If provided by a doctor, the medical certificate must include a statement confirming that you possess immunity antibodies from the second dose of the MMR vaccine.
(If the original documents are not in English, a seal from a qualified translator is sufficient for translated documents.)
Generally, as long as you have received two doses of the measles vaccination, it will be sufficient!
If you can provide your vaccination certificate, it will help expedite the verification process. (Highly recommended.)
Certificate of Health (Chest X-Ray Result or TB Test Result)
You will also need to provide a document from a hospital or clinic pertaining to a chest X-ray result or a TB (Tuberculosis) test result.
(If the original documents are not in English, a seal from a qualified translator is sufficient for translated documents.)
Please note that final approval is at the discretion of the dormitory team, so it is essential that all information, including the two vaccination dates, is clearly legible from their perspective.

You will need to monitor the course availability during the course change period, which takes place in the first week of the new semester, as the course may become available to students from other majors during that time.
Unfortunately, due to regulations, we are unable to provide further assistance.
You may need to consider alternative subjects that meet your requirements.
