Special course
IBU hosts a year-long program in budo for foreign students called the Budo Specialization Program (別科武道専修課程, Bekka Budō Senshū Katei). The program, inaugurated in 1984, is limited to 20 students. The program follows the Japanese academic school year, which begins in April and ends in March. The Budo Specialization Program curriculum focuses primarily on the advanced study of judō or kendō study, and secondarily on the study of Japanese culture and the Japanese language. Students from non-English speaking countries can elect to study English in the second semester. Students can elect to live at the Matsumae Memorial International Exchange Hall, which is located on the campus in Katsuura.
Seminar
IBU hosts the International Seminar of Budo Culture (国際武道文化セミナー, Kokusai Budō Bunka Seminā) annually in March. The multi-day seminar is held for non-Japanese budō practitioners who reside in Japan, and is intended "to deepen the understanding of historical philosophic and scientific aspects of budo to increase our mutual friendship and internationalize our traditional culture". The seminar is conducted by Nippon Budokan, headquartered in Tokyo.
