Gifu Pharmaceutical University is committed to exchange programs with overseas universities in order to promote the broad development and further advancement of education and research in pharmaceutical sciences, and through these programs to deepen mutual understanding and promote friendly relations.

In addition to dispatching faculty members to overseas universities, research institutions, and international conferences, we actively promote international exchange activities by accepting researchers from universities around the world, including those with which we have academic exchange agreements. We currently have ten universities on five continents with which we have academic exchange agreements.

Gifu Pharmaceutical University welcomes a wide range of international students and research students from overseas. In particular, there are many exchange students, research students, and post-doctoral fellows from overseas university laboratories who are enrolled in Gifu Pharmaceutical University's large course laboratories, and are learning about Japanese pharmaceutical science, with a focus on pharmaceutical research and drug discovery research.

At Gifu Pharmaceutical University, a large number of students experience a study abroad period, mainly through language study, and many of the students who complete the doctoral program at the graduate school also experience study abroad periods as post-doctoral fellows at overseas universities. In addition, we have established several short-term study abroad programs for current students, and subsidize short-term study abroad programs at universities in China and the USA, both of which have friendly relations with Gifu Pharmaceutical University.
