・Overseas universities offer short-term programs of about one month. The costs, destinations, and contents of these programs vary.
・Some programs have low participation fees, and there may be scholarships, fee support, or discounts available for students of our university.
・Students who participated in short-term programs have shared feedback such as, "I was able to assess my language skills," "I discovered the excitement of active discussions," "I made important friends from around the world," and "I got a clearer image of future long-term study abroad." These programs offer valuable experiences that contribute to personal growth. As the application periods for short-term programs are often short and deadlines are early, taking exams like TOEFL or IELTS in advance and having the scores ready will expand your options for available programs.
