Let’s keep our intellectual curiosity alive while facing various challenges!

  Okinawa International University has produced about 60,000 graduates since its founding in 1972. Our graduates are active in various fields in Okinawa, Japan, and the world, and their reputations have been growing year by year.
 
  Our university’s mission is to respect and support every student’s dream and goal. We will help you pursue independent learning in the various academic fields of our colleges and departments, so you acquire the high-level specialized knowledge and other skills required by society. Universities are a source of knowledge and provide a wealth of learning opportunities across all disciplines. However, our goal is not just the acquisition of knowledge. A university is also a place of self-discovery and growth. By meeting new friends and learning from different perspectives, you’ll discover various ideas and expand your possibilities.

  Okinawa International University does its best to help students realize their dreams. We have various study abroad programs in Japan and overseas, a unique scholarship system that doesn’t require repayment, and a career support grant system that helps students acquire certifications. In addition, we have enriched our career guidance to help students find employment. We also have various support programs for international students, including scholarships, so we hope you’ll consider studying here with us.
 
  We hope you’ll challenge yourself and grow during your intellectual adventure here. We pledge to support you as much as possible, so you have a fantastic university experience. Let’s build a future together by learning and growing together. Enjoy your adventure into the unknown!
