Credits from the University of Tsukuba can be transferred to students' home universities after being evaluated based on their existing rules and standards. (For more information, please contact your student exchange advisor. The criteria for credit transfer vary according to educational institution.) Top Academic Support Orientation Session Upon arrival at the University of Tsukuba, all JTP students must attend an orientation session organized by the International Student Center.
