Study abroad in Southeast Asia, a country full of diversity, and experience its energy
A semester of undergraduate study abroad in Asia* is a pillar of the curriculum of School of Global Studies and Collaboration. In principle, all students who meet certain conditions will study abroad in Southeast Asia for 6 months during the second semester of their second year.
By experiencing and deepening your understanding of the energy of Asia, which can be said to be the center of economic growth, during your student years, you will be able to greatly expand the fields in which you can be active in the future.
