Important Note

Ibaraki University and most other Japanese universities (except Nihon University) are not well-suited to students interested in only one semester in Japan because of the Japanese academic calendar. For example, Ibaraki University's 2023-2024 semester schedule was:

  • First semester: April 11-August 6
  • Second semester: September 21-February 7
  • Winter vacation: December 27-January 5
  • Spring vacation: February 24-March 31

Because of this, a UAB student who attends Ibaraki University only in the first semester would have to wait until April to begin classes. Attending only in the second semester, a UAB student would forfeit both the fall and spring semesters at UAB.
