International Exchange Global human resource development

In modern society, not only are companies transferring their production bases overseas and markets becoming borderless, but "globalization" is permeating all kinds of activities. In our university's human resource development, we consider responding to "globalization" to be the most important issue.
As a university with a focus on science and engineering, we have set the following three goals for "developing global human resources."
Goals of Global Human Resource Development

  1. Promoting sustainable international collaboration through the synergistic effects of expanding educational programs and research exchanges
  2. To create a campus environment where diverse cultures can coexist and to raise awareness among students, faculty and staff.
  3. Actively give back the results of our global expansion to local and international communities
In order to achieve the above goals, our university offers a variety of overseas study programs, with an emphasis on the following points:
Overseas Study Program

  1. Raising awareness of the "global society" from the time of enrollment
  2. To provide a program that gradually becomes more advanced as students progress through the grades.
  3. Incorporating learning through hands-on experience of working with students from overseas
