On March 2017, 3, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's public-private collaborative study abroad promotion project "Tobitate! Published "Study Abroad Encyclopedia", a search site for experiences and advice.Introducing the amount of money that senior international students actually spent living abroad and the amount of scholarships paid.You can also see how you have overcome your worries about studying abroad, such as what you should do before you travel, how to prepare your language skills, what to do after returning to Japan, and how to persuade others.
In January 2017, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology conducted an Internet survey on studying abroad for university students.As a result, 1% (realized / actual) answered that they have experience studying abroad and want to study abroad, and 24.2% (latent layer) said that they have an interest in or longing for studying abroad but do not want to. "Indifference" was 30.3%.
The reason why potential people are longing for and interested in studying abroad but do not want to study abroad is that the first place is "Because preparation is difficult and it seems to be troublesome", then "I do not know how to prepare" "Specifics about studying abroad" I don't know the typical image. "
On the other hand, the number one "information source used in preparing for study abroad" for students who have realized study abroad is "experience stories of close friends, acquaintances, and seniors."In addition, when I asked the realization group and the actual group who are considering studying abroad "information that is lacking / information that I think will help them to start studying abroad", "real living expenses such as food expenses and rent" and "scholarship information" "City security information" was mentioned.
The site was opened to solve the "lack of information" felt by these students.
Also, pay attention to the diversified study abroad programs based on the concept of "a new kind of Ryugaku, I'm increasing." Under the titles of "Around the World Ryugaku," "Space Art Ryugaku," and "Curry Ryugaku," we introduce the unique experiences of international students who participated in internships, volunteers, and fieldwork.
Approximately 200 students who have already studied abroad have registered the information, and it is expected that the number will exceed 1, including high school students, within a year. A smartphone version will be released at the end of March.
