Orientation
For their first week or so at Momoyama, all exchange students attend an Orientation programme organized by the International Centre. This includes information about the intricacies of Alien Registration and taking out National Insurance. We also help you register for classes, tell you about the university´s various clubs, give you some basic information about Japanese manners and customs, and take you on a day trip to a special facility set up in Osaka to train people in the techniques needed to deal with sudden disasters like earthquakes and fires.
