INFORMATION ABOUT THE EVENT
With the “Live Locally, Grow Globally” motto, Osaka University has endeavored to internationalize and attract increasing numbers of international students and build research collaboration with institutions worldwide. As a part of this mission, CAREN has taken a role in helping to spread Osaka University’s wings by setting up international master/Ph.D. and double degree programs with overseas partners.
Having established such educational systems for student mobility, we, CAREN wonder how the students studying at Osaka University find the internationalisation of the university. Are they satisfied or not? Does Osaka University need to change to create a more comfortable campus life for the students? If so, in what ways and for whom?
With the theme of “How can Osaka University be more attractive to both international and Japanese students?”, we would like to hold an English speech contest to listen to the opinions of the students. Any student studying at Osaka University is welcome to join. We look forward to your insightful ideas from various perspectives.
“How can Osaka University be more attractive to both international and Japanese students?”
