Through this close relationship, the Graduate School of Science and Technology at Kumamoto University has been receiving many students from the University.

During the visit, Rector and his team visited the Graduate School of Science and Technology, took a site tour and exchanged opinions regarding the possibilities of student exchanges and joint researches including double degree programs.
We hope that our agreement will encourage exchanges throughout the university and develop into interactions in new areas.
