The Global Learning Center (GLC) is hosting two Tohoku University Japanese Programs (TUJPs), which are short-term student exchange programs, in the second semester of FY2024 in a face-to-face format. A total of 116 students from TU’s partner universities in Singapore, Germany, China, Indonesia, and Australia participated in TUJP Winter 1 from December 5th to 20th. Through lectures on the Japanese language and culture, a field trip to the area affected by the earthquake, and interactions with domestic and international students at TU, the participants enhanced their Japanese language skills and deepened their understanding of Japan and Tohoku University.

In the second semester of FY2024, we are preparing to offer one more TUJP in January 2025.
