STUDENT MOBILITY

Mobility Programme Overview

To improve students' adaptability to the academic environment outside the institution, the program is designed to send students abroad, such as through student exchange and special research student programs to Japan. The program's curriculum is developed in response to current societal changes, the expectations of graduate employers, and the learning models mandated by both the university and the government—including Project-based Learning and Research-Based Learning. Following the adoption of this updated curriculum, benefits have been realized for both students and the institution. Students gain practical experiences and perspectives beyond campus life, which broaden their post-graduation employment prospects. Meanwhile, the institution benefits from enhanced quality, greater effectiveness in teaching and learning processes, and improved overall outcomes.

If the degree program offers various opportunities to go abroad (e.g. Eramus+, internships ...), please list them here.
