A flexible study abroad program to suit the changing world situation

The online study abroad program launched this time is not just an alternative program for emergencies.
Looking ahead to the post-corona, Ritsumeikan University's new style of international education, "Smart Global Learning," is a concept that fuses traditional study abroad with travel and online learning with faculty members and students from overseas universities. It's one of them.

Even now that SNS has become widespread and exchanges on the Internet have become commonplace, there are many students who think that "studying abroad" is valuable because of the experience of traveling abroad, meeting and talking with people.As a fact, we take it seriously and, of course, we will focus on efforts to resume study abroad in a realistic manner.However, low-cost, space-constrained online study abroad is for financially demanding students, students with health concerns, and science students who have difficulty leaving the regular curriculum for a long period of time. Even students who have been hesitant to study abroad can be offered the opportunity to enjoy global learning.

Associate Professor Hatani wants students to take advantage of the opportunity to study abroad in a flexible manner, whether real or online.As a leading university in the internationalization of Japanese universities in an ever-changing world, Ritsumeikan University will continue to seek new study abroad styles.
