Course Description
The course is designed to help learners discover the great programs offered by different Japanese universities including ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app and help prepare their study plans by listening to experiences and advice from international students who are currently studying in Japan. In addition to gaining knowledge about the programs offered in Japan, learners will also be able to make a draft personal application and study abroad plan through the assignments in the course. This course intends to support studying at Japanese universities by providing opportunities to the learners to interact online with others who are also interested in studying in Japan as well as with the Course Teaching Assistants (Course TAs) and international students currently studying in Japan.
