ConnectionsTo the World

IUJ has been building upon collaboration with other graduate schools, research institutions and businesses in a number of countries. In addition to student exchange programs, we have entered into various other collaborative partnership agreements with graduate schools abroad in the form of joint research, academic interactions and linkage programs, and in order to formalize as well as reinforce our various partnerships, we have signed Memorandums of Agreement with our partners.
