〇 What is Study in Japan Global Network Project in ASEAN?
Okayama University was appointed to implement the “Study in Japan Global
Network Project in ASEAN” which is funded by Ministry of Education,
Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) - Japan in 2019. Our aim
is to increase the number of international students from ASEAN 1.5 times
in 5 years. In the previous phase, Okayama University was commissioned
by MEXT - Japan to implement the “Coordinator for Study in Japan
(Myanmar)” in 2014, aiming to double the number of students from Myanmar
over a 5-year period. As a result, Okayama University were able to
triple the number of students in 4 years, achieving our goal one year
ahead. In 2018, the name of the project was changed to “Study in Japan
Global Network Project in ASEAN” and the target region was expanded to
10 ASEAN countries.
Currently, Okayama University has oversea offices in Yangon and Mandalay (Myanmar), Bangkok (Thailand), Phnom Penh (Cambodia), and Vientiane (Laos). From these 5 bases, Okayama University will work to recruit excellent international students from ASEAN to study in Japan.
