Voices from International Students

WISEMAN CHISALE BEKELESI (From MALAWI) Doctoral Program, Graduate School of Science

Hiroshima is considered one of the top Universities in Japan and the world at large. When I came across Hiroshima University’s website by chance, I was thrilled to study in Japan to continue with nuclear science. Having travelled in a number of countries globally, I don’t regret doing my further studies in Japan. Hiroshima University has viable environment for learning and has attracted over 1000 International Students worldwide. Its laboratories and libraries are modern with up to date equipment, volume of books respectively. It has also adequate academic and support staff to ensure smooth running of the university. I have enjoyed conducting research independently at Hiroshima University in liaison with my supervisor. I have attended several conferences since I joined the university including academic field visits both in Japan and abroad. Thus, I would like to encourage more students from various countries to study at Hiroshima University any course of their choice.

Resident Status International students wishing to enter Hiroshima University are required to gain the necessary qualifications to stay in Japan as an international student, namely the qualification of “Student” as provided in the Japanese Immigration-Control and Refugee-Recognition Act. When you come to Japan to submit an application or to take the entrance examination, you may come by visas other than student visa. When coming for enrollment procedures at this University, only after you have passed the examination and completed registration it is necessary for you to obtain the status of “Student” (It is possible that you may have to apply for the status of “Student” back in your country of residence).

Acquisition of Certificate of Eligibility The Certificate of Eligibility (CoE) is a document issued by the Immigration Bureau of the Japanese Ministry of Justice as evidence that the foreign national meets the conditions for landing in Japan, including the requirements that the activity in which the foreign national wishes to engage in Japan. A student of foreign nationality wishing to enter a Japanese university as an international student needs to apply for a visa with status of "Student" at the nearest Japanese Embassy or Consulate before entering Japan. For application, you may submit a Certificate of Eligibility to the Japanese Embassy or Consulate together with your passport and required documents. Your entry visa can be obtained within a short period. The International Exchange Group will perform the necessary procedures to apply for your Certificate of Eligibility to the Immigration Bureau. It will take about 1 to 3 months for issuance of Certificate of Eligibility. Therefore we recommend that you perform the online application and submit the required documents for the CoE as soon as you receive your Notification of Acceptance.
