OBJECTIVE.
The International Office held information sessions on studying abroad and exhibitions of posters made by Rikkyo University students who are currently studying at overseas partner universities to introduce their host institutions. These events were part of a program aimed at raising awareness of overseas study, mainly among new students. The information sessions were held for the first time last academic year, and this year was the first time for the poster exhibitions to be held. The purpose of these events was not only to provide students with information on studying abroad, but to raise awareness about overseas study.
An information session on studying abroad
The study abroad information sessions are intended to inform new students about the wide variety of study abroad programs available at Rikkyo University, which include long- and short-term programs, as well as academic and practical programs. A total of four sessions were held on both campuses this April, with about 600 new students taking part, double the number from the first sessions last year. At the sessions, students were given guidance on the types of programs they may pursue, provided with pointers to follow when considering overseas study, and told how to make best use of the Global Lounges on both campuses. The new students who attended listened raptly.
