Experiencing global study

In recent years, young people have had more opportunities to study abroad, participate in articulation programs, engage in international collaborative programs, undertake field trips, etc. These educational endeavors aim to obtain international degrees, knowledge, and skills, while also fostering understanding of cultures and people in foreign countries.

Those who participated in the program will have credits transferred and accredited in all subjects at partner universities.

With the implementation of the international semester program in the academic year 2023-2024, students will engage in four weeks of study. Furthermore, they will have the opportunity to visit and experience interesting aspects of culture and life in new lands.
