Young Scientist Exchange Program for Faculty of Engineering


Republished from UGM’s OIA’s website.

In 2000, Tokyo Institute of Technology (TIT) started YSEP (Young Scientist Exchange Program), which will provide each overseas student with the first opportunity to experience long term research in the SOTSURON (Research Project) as well as reloted subjects and courses of Japanese language and society.

Beyond the difference of race,religion and culture, YSEP students are expected to positively exchange with other participants and people on and off campus. We believe this experience will provide you the necessary capacity to live well with other peoples in this age of globalization. You will also absorb the merits of different research approaches through your experience of Sotsuron (research project).
