About Tokyo Study Center (TSC) Staff

UC Tokyo Study Center is administered by a UC faculty member with the support of local staff. While abroad, the Tokyo Study Center is your first point of contact for all matters.

We provide support by advising students on academic matters, program logistics, and personal issues; providing informationon cultural activities; and helping with on-site emergencies. We work with the University of California, the Universitywide Office of EAP, EAP partner University officials, local embassies or consulates, and other service organizations to monitor local conditions and ensure EAP students' safety and security in Japan.
