Message from Faculty

Why should you engage in international exchange during your time at university? Late adolescence is a critical period for the formation of one’s identity and values. To truly understand yourself, it is essential to actively interact with people from backgrounds different from your own. The experience of finding that your ‘common sense’ no longer applies is inherently rewarding and will undoubtedly enrich your life. I encourage you to take advantage of a wide range of international exchange opportunities on campus, as well as various study abroad programmes.
