About the Program

Study at the University of Hiroshima’s spacious campus, located 30 minutes outside of central Hiroshima. This bilateral exchange provides an affordable study abroad option featuring complete immersion at a Japanese university specifically selected to meet the needs of University of Minnesota students.

Faculty & Staff
The Hiroshima Study Abroad Program staff will be your main on-site staff during your time in Hiroshima.

Housing & Meals


The majority of international students live in on-campus housing in the Ikenoue dormitory. Japanese students live in this dorm, and so this is a great way to integrate into university life.

You may also choose to live in an apartment, although this is a much more expensive option.

Excursions & Social Activities
There are numerous opportunities to get involved at Hiroshima University. The Hiroshima University Study Abroad program organizes conversation partners, homestay opportunities, and various events throughout the year. These events include different festivals, cherry blossom viewing, and more.
