International Student Writing Support Desk

The International Student Writing Support Desk provides guidance on Japanese language expression in writing in-class assignments and degree application theses (master's theses and doctoral dissertations ) mainly for international students enrolled in the graduate school of the University, with the aim of further enhancing educational and research support for international students and others.
From September 2025, the number of students eligible to receive instruction will be expanded. For details, please refer to the following information and the "User Guide".

In the "Graduate Student Tutor System," pre-designated senior students (tutors) mainly from the same graduate school provide research and study advice (e.g., assistance in writing reports) to junior students, as well as advice on adjusting to graduate school life.
On the other hand, the "International Student Writing Support Desk" provides specialized guidance on Japanese language expression for in-class assignments and degree theses (master's theses and doctoral dissertations). Tutors will continue to provide advice on study in specialized fields and consultation on study methods.
(Since the tutoring in Japanese-language expression is mainly for in-class assignments and writing dissertations for degree applications, the tutors do not provide advice on Japanese-language expression for other private documents, guidance on daily conversation, or Japanese-language translations.)
