One of the largest summer schools in Japan!  145 courses at undergraduate and graduate level offered by world-leading researchers from around the world in English.

In 2024, more than 160 world-leading researchers from overseas will provide various lectures with our university’s faculty members during the summer for the HSI, which was established in 2016 and more than 1,100 international students have participated so far. From 2020, we also accept applications from non-students.

145 courses (98 graduate courses and 47 undergraduate courses) will be offered in 2024 summer. Each course conducted in English is worth 1 or 2 academic credits. Most of the courses run for one or two weeks, so students can tailor their own summer program by combining courses according to their major, interests and their schedule. Many courses have an option of online format.

Tuition fee will be waived for students who enroll in the program as exchange students from HU’s partner institutions with which HU has concluded a departmental exchange agreement on mutual tuition waivers (except for HSI Extension/Professional Program in Japanese courses). Students are required to take at least one course organized by the HU department which your institution has concluded the agreement with. The number of HSI students is not included in the exchange quota.
