Since its foundation, Hokusei Gakuen University has aimed to promote international exchange and understanding. In order to promote the development of an international perspective, the university has a number of classes taught by foreign instructors. In order to facilitate overseas exchanges, the university has established sister school relationships with a number of universities and colleges abroad. Moreover, we have introduced a credit transfer system and tuition exemption system.

Currently, approximately 20 students are sent abroad each year for study in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Korea, China and Taiwan. Approximately 40 students come to Hokusei Gakuen University each year from abroad. Through these programs, Hokusei Gakuen University aims to foster an environment where students can experience and learn about cultures other than their own.

The Department of English of Hokusei Gakuen University Junior College has a one- to four-month-long overseas education program, through which approximately 50 students study at universities in the U.S., the U.K., Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Malaysia every year.
