Prospective Students
Guidance in furthering one's education in a university -- Explanatory Sessions 2020~21
Online career counseling about higher education (intended for high school students, prospective undergraduate students, and their parents)
Over 500 sessions have been held since they began on May 13!
In these counseling sessions held every Wednesday and Friday, OU staff members give a helping hand to high school students, prospective students, and their parents. Feel free to ask any questions you want answered, such as “What qualities is OU looking for in its applicants?” and “What's unique about OU?”
Counselors for these sessions include faculty members from the Admission Division and current students from schools in both liberal arts and sciences. In addition, for a limited time, participants who are considering living by themselves will be able to speak to a counselor from Osaka University COOP about rental apartments.
Prior registration is required to attend these sessions, so those interested should fill in the required items on the application website and make their reservation. Each session will last for 20 minutes.
Reservations can be made online (reservations must be made by 7pm on the evening before your session). To make a reservation, click here.
Note: These online career counseling sessions are only available in Japanese.
