About us

On September 1, 2005, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies (TUFS) opened the Office for International Academic Strategy (OFIAS-TUFS).

OFIAS is one of the model projects of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) which has been promoting the globalization of Japan's universities.

OFIAS will be responsible for developing TUFS' international strategies. In that context, OFIAS will undertake the operations of overseas bases, liaisons with overseas organizations, and the establishment of human network on a global scale. OFIAS will also work to accommodate researchers from overseas to promote exchanges of scholars as well as students, and contribute to the creation of a multilingual and multicultural campus.

OFIAS will also be involved in the organization and support of international support activities conducted by TUFS.

Through such activities, OFIAS will develop personnel who can contribute to the field of global academics in a variety of fields.
