Hokudai campus
The campus of the educational institution is located in Sapporo. This opens up all the delights of life in a big city for students: a rich infrastructure, a large selection of entertainment, convenient transport, as well as more opportunities for internships or part-time jobs. However, for some students, such an abundance of opportunities can be distracting. University students have access to the library. It contains a collection of scientific papers, textbooks and fiction. Hokudai regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs. For locals, this is a unique opportunity to get in touch with the cultures of other countries, meet representatives of different nationalities and make friends around the world.
Japan allows university graduates to stay in the country for one more year. Graduates can spend this time looking for a job in order to change their visa to a work one. Graduates of Hokudai find jobs without difficulty. One of the reasons is the good reputation of the university among employers, according to the results of the QS ranking.
