NAIST places strong emphasis on career support for international students (Career Support). To promote successful career development in Japan, Japanese language and cultural education are considered essential. Therefore, NAIST provides Japanese courses that accommodate a wide range of proficiency levels.

From the 2025 academic year, NAIST students may take online Japanese language courses offered by the University of Tsukuba as special auditing students.

In addition, NAIST entered into a credit transfer agreement with the Graduate School of Science and Technology at Ryukoku University (Partnership with Ryukoku University). Through the “JEP Kyoto” program, international students were able to study topics such as Japanese history, economics, politics, and culture in English, providing further opportunities to deepen their understanding of Japan (from 2018 until March 2026).

To improve the contents and methods of subject and research guidance, NAIST addresses the faculty development (FD) of its faculty members and staff. It conducts class evaluation surveys and class assessments by external evaluation committee members and provides FD and overseas FD/SD training for faculty and staff. Please refer to the page of the Division for Global Education for details (Overseas Faculty Development Program). Meanwhile, the Division for Educational Development holds lectures and subjects focusing on the improvement of leadership capacity in education and research guidance for all faculty members, staff, and graduate students in the doctoral course.
