On October 1st, 2026, Hiroshima University held the opening ceremony for its 3+1 Program in Lecture Room 257 of the School of Economics at the Higashi-hiroshima Campus.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Morito Institute of Global Higher Education 3+1 Program, which primarily offers courses in Japanese. In addition to the 38 students enrolled in this program, 49 students have commenced their studies in the IDEC Institute 3+1 Program, which primarily offers courses in English.
In his address, President Ochi stated, "As future leaders of a new era, I encourage you to devote yourselves to research under the guidance of your academic supervisors, pursue your studies in subjects related to peace and foreign languages, make the most of Hiroshima University's educational resources, and enjoy a fulfilling student life here." Inspired by President Ochi’s words, the students reaffirmed their commitment to their upcoming study abroad experience.
In conjunction with the opening ceremony, Associate Professor Victor Parque (Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering) was confered the title of Specially Recognized Professor in recognition of his particularly outstanding contributions to the development of the IDEC Institute 3+1 Program, as acknowledged by the university.

*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 will 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. In 2024, 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."
