In terms of student exchange, HU has accepted a total of seven students from Changchun University from 2018 to the present through the Morito Institute of Global Higher Education 3+1 Program, a unique inbound program for international students. From 2021, through the Japanese Language and Culture Online Program, which provides advanced Japanese language and culture education, and the Campus Asia Plus, part of the HU Inter-University Exchange Project, a number of students from Changchun University have been deepening their exchanges through overseas and short-term study abroad programs.
HU has concluded 131 inter-university international exchange agreements with 117 institutions and 84 inter-faculty international exchange agreements with 80 institutions in China. Currently, 1,322 students from China are studying at HU, including 13 students from Changchun University.
