Regarding this matter, we are unable to provide support in advance, as the syllabi for the next semester are not yet available.

Please inform your home university about this.

You will be able to download the syllabi during the course registration period, which takes place approximately one month before the semester begins.

The course list under the Office of International Affairs (OIA) is open to all students, regardless of their major. 

Please select a department that closely aligns with their major at their home university.

In general, all exchange students can enroll in courses listed at the link below:

Also, when you click the subject, there is a short summay about that particular subject.

However, for courses in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), architecture, economics, and design, it is not 100% guaranteed that students with different majors will be able to enroll.

Admission to these courses may be denied on a case-by-case basis, as the decision is made by the faculty based on a comprehensive review of the student's major and academic performance at their home university.

Please make sure to inform your home university of this information.

You can calculate and submit your transcript (GPA) based on the application submission date.

It is not 100% guaranteed, and we recommend booking your flight only after receiving a certificate of admission.

We need to confirm that we have received your application.

We are currently still accepting applications, and due to the large number of submissions, it will take some time to thoroughly review all of them, including yours.

If we require any supplementary documents or have additional questions, we will contact you via email.

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.
