The signing ceremony took place during a visit to °®Âþµº main campus this week.

Mr Uchiyama passed on a message from Professor Tetsuo Yamada, the Principal of Atomi University (who couldn’t make the signing due to other commitments). It said: “I am very pleased that we exchange a memorandum of understanding between the °®Âþµº and Atomi University. I hope this memorandum will establish a long-term partnership between both parties.”
Atomi University is a private women's college established in 1965.
Since 2009, the °®Âþµº has received a significant number of students from Atomi - with the largest cohort of 53 students confirmed to attend the °®Âþµº English language summer school this year.
The °®Âþµº °®Âþµº Recruitment Team also visited Atomi University in October last year in order to raise the profile of the University and explore recruitment opportunities.
The Universities hope the new memorandum of understanding will cement their growing relationship – and help them develop strong academic links.
