The growing number of English-language degree programmes at Japan’s universities offers you the chance to advance your knowledge in this fascinating country, whatever your level of study. A number of leading Japanese universities will have booths at the event to provide information on these programmes, as well as on the summer courses and other options open to international students.
There will also be a chance to find out about the variety of scholarships and research funding available to enable you to take advantage of these learning opportunities.
The event will also introduce other programmes that allow you to experience Japan, such as the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme. Now in its 27th year, the JET Programme is one of the largest language-exchange programmes in the world. There are currently over 4,000 young people from different countries employed on the programme, working mainly as assistant language teachers throughout Japan.
Throughout the afternoon, a series of seminars will cover everything from the practicalities of living in Japan to the diversity of traditional and modern Japanese culture. In addition to panel sessions by people with experience of studying and working in Japan, experts will introduce participants to Japanese cuisine, language, and pop culture. A detailed programme will be available on the website shortly.
