Fostering a global mind is our top priority, and language will follow later.

We understand that the condition for global human resources is not to have English proficiency or study abroad history, but to have flexible thinking and action ability to respond to any situation.Therefore, in hybrid study abroad, it is more important to have a variety of "international venues" through living abroad than to acquire English.

In particular, science and engineering students are not good at English, but they already have a universal second language (mathematical formulas, chemical formulas, blueprints, engineering languages ​​such as C language).This is just a dream global language, and for them English is just a third language (tool) that complements the second language.

However, in order to play an active role as a science and engineering engineer in the future, English proficiency is still essential.Since we are responsible for cutting-edge technology and research on the world stage, all papers and manuals are in English, and the common language for business negotiations and communication with overseas business partners is also English.In other words, it is important for science and engineering students rather than liberal arts students to go abroad and develop a global mindset while increasing their opportunities to come into contact with English.

That is why, even if your English proficiency does not reach a certain level, students who want to become truly global engineers, scientists and architects will first gain the experience of studying and living abroad, and in that experience. It is of great significance to come into contact with foreign customs and languages ​​and naturally acquire English and global sensibilities and ways of thinking.

Also, in daily life abroad, even if you have a problem with a little trouble, it is a "mast" to face the problem yourself, find out what to do, and act on your own to solve it.By repeating such a life of "every day is a must", you will gradually acquire the flexible creativity and execution ability as a global human resource.

In fact, the students who participated in the hybrid study abroad will acquire new values ​​and a broad perspective, and will return with great growth both once and for all.At the debriefing session after returning to Japan, "If you go even if you are anxious at first, you can do something about it." "I realized the narrowness of Japan. "It was every day," "I saw various things, and my point of view and world view changed."Seeing the reliable appearance of such students makes me feel happy with a great response.
