– Chiba University at Present –

After the March 11 earthquake in eastern Japan we have been receiving expressions of concern from our sister universities overseas, our international graduates, and families of our international students. Fortunately, there was no major damage to buildings and other facilieties at Chiba University, which allowed us to start the new academic year according to the original schedule on the 11th April. At the beginning some of our international students who were worried about the situation in Japan chose to delay their arrival at Chiba University, but nearly all of them have already come back to classes and research. We are making every possible effort to ensure the best study and life environment for our students. As part of this effort Chiba University Radioisotope Research Center is continuously monitoring radiation levels on campus. The latest readings can be found on

(the normal radiation level for this area is 0.05-0.3μSv/h).
