For outgoing exchange students
NUCB Undergraduate School students are strongly encouraged to make the best out of the school's global network by on exchange at one of our partner schools around the world, as part of self-development and international exposure that is based on the following rational: 'The time when students used to spend their student life in 1 country, studying in 1 language and in 1 campus is over'.
The reality in today's world is that one is unable to grasp the essence by just staying in their country of origin. However, facing this existence and knowing the current situation of this world by going abroad will enable the students to expand their perspectives and mindset by learning a new culture and new values.

There is an increasing attention on the creation of innovation amongst large corporation, family business and even startups. However, till date, there is a lack of understanding on how organizations or individuals can create innovation that meets the end users’ needs.

Doing Business in Japan
The course is designed to explain Japan’s economic shift from world largest exporter of manufactured products to consumer-based economy with huge demand for technologically advanced products. Topics from economic change to demographic change, manufacturing to value addition, homogeneity to diversity will be part of cases and discussion. Also, the course can be helpful for the students who want to know about 'Rise of Asia' and its impact on world economy.

Strategic Thinking
Strategic thinking might be the most important management skill that, in a globalizing business world where just about everything is changing and the 'status quo' is change itself, is a key requirement that provides the boundaries for other business actions. Understanding strategic thinking and doing it well will be a competitive advantage in your careers and in business itself, but ignoring it may be a sure recipe for professional and business failure.
Cultural Enrichment Activities
NUCB Undergraduate School organizes cultural and business-related trips and activities for the incoming exchange students, aimed to provide and enrich students' cultural experience in Japan and often entirely or substantially subsidized by the school.
Trips and activities vary by semester but include: visit to the Toyota manufacturing plant, weekend trip to World Heritage sites in Takayama and Shirakawa-go, weekend trip to Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Trails, traditional Japanese tea ceremony, ikebana (Japanese flower arranging), the school's Sagamine Festival, Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament, and much more.
Accommodation
Upon application to NUCB Undergraduate School, students are given the opportunity to apply for an NUCB dormitory (subject to availability). Meito Dormitory is set in a modern building in the Meito Ward, at the East end of Nagoya City, with easy access to downtown Nagoya. Each student room has electronic pass-key locking, bed and bedding, closet, kitchenette, desk and chair, desk lamp, toilet, bath and shower, bookshelves, AC/heater, refrigerator and freezer, balcony and free WiFi access. Washing machines and dryers are shared by floor. As Japanese students live in this dormitory, it is a good choice for those who are interested in making Japanese friends.
Higashiyama Annex Residence is located in a quiet and residential area of Nagoya, outside the city core, called Higashiyama. It is a shared house with 2 living rooms and a wide kitchen attached to each, as well as 2 bathrooms, 1 shower room, and 4 restrooms. It also offers 8 individual rooms.

Hiroshi Hall (for short term exchange students) has been thoughtfully designed to provide a comfortable living space for students. The dormitory includes modern facilities aimed at making daily life easier and more enjoyable. The dormitory is located on campus, meaning students have great access to on-campus facilities from just a stones throw away. Hiroshi Hall is exclusively for one-semester exchange students.

Students are not required to apply for these scholarships as they are automatically considered upon application.
