Short-Term Overseas Program
As part of our commitment to international exchange, our university offers programs allowing students to go to our overseas partner universities/institutions, providing opportunities to learn language skills and experience diverse cultures. The training sessions typically occur during the university's summer or spring break, lasting anywhere from one week to one month. The unique feature of this program is the opportunity to engage with local students, enabling participants to have profound experiences not commonly encountered in regular international travel. We highly recommend these programs for those who find long-term study abroad challenging but still aspire to explore foreign countries, immerse themselves in various cultures, and enhance their language proficiency.
Additionally, students can earn academic credits by participating in pre- and post-orientation sessions and submitting a post-training report upon return.
These programs are designed to enhance language proficiency and communication skills by immersing participants in real-life non-Japanese experiences. The primary goal is to foster an understanding of diverse cultures through direct engagement.
