KOSEN Global Camp

In order to internationalize the on-campus environment at national colleges of technology, we are expanding the number of international students accepted and contributing to the development of an educational environment where Japanese and international students can work together to improve their skills. Starting in 2023, we will be running the "KOSEN Global Camp," a program in which national colleges of technology students and international students can take classes in English for about a week, focusing mainly on experiments and practical training.
