Campus Life

With globalization accelerating, universities in Japan are required to foster internationally mineded engineers and researchers with a high level of culture and expertise. In order to respond to such demands, Ashikaga University is actively promoting international exchange programs. Through its faculty members, who have research partners in various parts of the world, or its International Exchange Committee, Ashikaga University is connected to various countries of the world.

A university is a facility which is expected to provide opportunities for various activities besides academic studies. Apart from a student council, we have various student activity groups: 10 student committees and their affiliated organizations, 22 sports-oriented clubs, 13 activity circles, and 9 associations. We hope you will be actively involved in one or two of these groups to make your college life meaningful. On campus, you will see many students enjoying these activities.

The library comprises 160,000 volumes and serves as a dynamic partner in advancing inquiry and learning for Ashikaga University and for the local community. The library is constantly increasing its book collection, focusing on books of basic knowledge and reference books, and is available not only for students and faculty members but also the local public.

The building has 21 students' hall and a students' union shop on the first floor, and a large dining hall with two restaurants on the second floor. They serve various set meals including Ashikaga University specialties.

The Ashikaga University School Festival is held annually in October. Many students and local residents participate in the festival which features many events.
