Fostering Highly Skilled Professionals who Can Contribute to Industrial Development

Our school, located on the Heiwa Odori Street (Peace Boulevard), one of the landmarks of Hiroshima, was established in 1984. Through enrichment of "practical education" that provides the specialized knowledge and technology in each given profession and "human education" that produces members of a society who possess high morals and thinking, and by providing practical education involving internships we aim to foster highly skilled professionals who can work effectively in industry upon their graduation.

Developing competitive ability through internship programs implemented in every department.

The internship program is realized through co-operation between the school and industry. Students are given the opportunity to gain actual work experience which allows them to develop specialized skills and, in addition, learn about their aptitude for such work and its suitability. All departments participate in the program, though the period of internships vary.

In co-operation with Singapore Polytechnic the school and Hong Bang University International offers an overseas study program.

Every year we conduct exchange programs and activities for both students and teaching staff of Singapore Polytechnic and Hong Bang University International. In view of this age of globalization, the program is designed to promote international understanding, communication skills, presentations skills and language proficiency. in addition, an overseas internship program giving experience in Japanese industry and a six-month exchange program are offered in Singapore.
