Students | Academic Year 2009-2010 Iwate Prefectural University Annual Report

We are working on reforming our entrance exam system as well as strengthening the network with high schools in order to welcome motivated students and meet the higher-education needs of Iwate’s residents.
In the 2009 academic year, we actively implemented such initiatives as high school visits, orientation seminars and tours of the university as part of our networking with secondary schools. As a result, the admissions for the 2010 academic year saw an increase in the number of applicants in each faculty compared to the previous year, and the junior colleges were also able to maintain a certain level of admission standards.
Furthermore, we are considering making changes to the 2012 admission examinations and promote initiatives to welcome students by reducing the size the AO entrance exams, changing the admission process, and changing the distribution of marks in the exams of the National Center for University Entrance Examinations, etc.

The admission policy of Iwate Prefectural University is established based on the Founding Principles and Objectives of the school.

Students We Seek

Those who agree with the Founding Principles and Objectives of Iwate Prefectural University, and merit being nurtured as “independent individuals with highly-specialized skills and knowledge, deep intelligence, and rich sensitivity”.
