The Chuo University Shanghai Office is Chuo's third overseas hub, opened in October 2016 at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology (USST). The Shanghai Office gathers information on international exchange, prepares overseas study programs for students, provides research support for faculty members, and ensures a base for networking and public relations activities. Above all, the office enables Chuo to implement higher education programs in close cooperation with USST.

The Chuo University Hanoi Office is Chuo’s fourth overseas hub, opened in September 2022. This office is expected to be a public relations locus for Chuo University in Vietnam, which sends many students to study in Japan. In addition, the Japanese International School (JIS), where the Hanoi Office is located, is Chuo’s first international partner school, integrating kindergarten through high school education, and modeled on the Japanese education system. We look forward to the day when students who have studied at JIS, and following their study at Chuo, will play an active role in connecting Japan and Vietnam.
