*The "Hiroshima University 3+1 Program” is an initiative that accepts students who have completed their second or third year at universities abroad as Special Auditing Students. During the program, these students receive specialized education and guidance on their graduation theses, which they submit to their home universities. After completing the program, students are expected to continue their studies as foreign research students and eventually to enter Hiroshima University’s graduate schools, and we have established an environment to support this transition. Named after Tatsuo Morito, the first president who championed the spirit of “a single unified university, free and pursuing peace,” the program was initially inaugurated as the Morito Institute of Global Higher Education 3+1 Program, offering courses primarily in Japanese. This year, we launched The IDEC Institute 3+1 Program, which is another 3+1 program that offers courses in English, and these two 3+1 programs have been restructured into "Hiroshima University 3+1 Program."
