Since being selected for the "Top Global University Project" (Global Traction Type / Type B) by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) in FY2014, the University of Aizu has implemented various globalization initiatives over a 10-year period until FY2023 (March 2024).
The efforts, achievements, and the status of continuing initiatives to improve international sustainability after the conclusion of this project were compiled into a post-project evaluation conducted during FY2024, and the final report was submitted.
As a result of the review by the Program Committee, the University received an "A" grade on a 5-point scale (S to D) from MEXT on March 21, 2025.

The outcomes of "Governance and Globalization" are introduced here.
We have offered an English class once a week for administrative staff to learn practical English conversation skills on campus.
Administrative staff did the above activities to improve their language skills.
In addition, lunch meetings to enjoy free conversation were implemented.
Now an e-learning program is offered to them instead of a face-to-face class.
The percentage of staff who meet foreign language proficiency standards is increasing, and the ratio of achievement against target indicators in AY2019 is 124%.
| AY2013 | AY2014 | AY2015 | AY2016 | AY2017 | AY2018 | AY2019 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The percentage of staff who meet foreign language proficiency standards |
26.8% | 28.1% | 28.1% | 29.8% | 31.6% | 36.2% | 42.1% |
Administrative staff with high foreign language ability have the opportunity of traveling to overseas hubs and partner schools abroad so that they can gain practical experience abroad. Support for international students and foreign nationals is becoming smoother due to the staff's international experience and improvement of language skills.
We are working on improving work efficiency with an eye on globalization.
