Course overview and goals

Students are generally sent overseas for two weeks or more to engage in practical research activities at an overseas university or research institute.
Through this experience, students will develop an international perspective and sensibility by competing with participating overseas students. We train researchers with international leadership skills.

Course description and aims

Students will participate in practical research activities at overseas universities and research institutes.
For example, students participate in international joint projects related to doctoral research.
Students will leverage insights gained on site for composing their dissertation.

Keywords

Competencies

• Specialist skills
• Intercultural skills
• Communication skills
• Critical thinking skills
• Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Students will create a practical research plan for overseas, and complete the stipulated application. Their destination will be determined based on a review of the submitted application. During their assignment, students will independently conduct practical research activities divided up with members of the organization, under the guidance of the academic supervisor and local instructors. After returning, students will create a report on the research they did.

Course schedule/Objectives
