Over the last several years, the number of international students attending Osaka University has risen consistently despite a general nationwide trend toward fewer international students. As of 2014, a total of 2,012 international students were studying at Osaka University, equivalent to 8% of the student body.
Of those students, the overwhelming majority are enrolled as degree program students, and since around 2007, the number of non-degree program students enrolled for short-term and other programs has been more than the number of degree program international undergraduate students. Whereas the overwhelming majority of degree program international students are from countries in Asia, non-degree program international students represent a comparatively larger number of regions.
