Aim:
The main aim of this course is to become familiar with the types of overseas study, skills required when studying abroad, and academic skills required for especially graduate school, internship and other types of study abroad. The students will also learn to develop critical thinking, autonomous learning, discussion and coordination skills in English through interaction with teachers and peer.

The transition from studying in your own native country to studying abroad can be a challenge. This course is designed to help students make the difficult transition and gain the basic knowledge and the necessary competencies of what will be required of you studying abroad. We will first identify individual study abroad needs, and what UEC and other institutions have to offer. Your intention to study abroad may be organized through the university or by yourself. The student body in this course is expected to be a mixture of international (those already experiencing study abroad in Japan) and Japanese students (those intending to study abroad). We will work on supporting each others study abroad needs, share cultural difference, identify current and potential problems, and provide possible solutions. The dynamics of the class will include much sharing of experiences, discussion, critical thinking and autonomous learning.

In summary, the goals of this course are to:
●Identify your study abroad goals.
●Get to know campus facilities (Study abroad, internship, library) and staff involved.
●Gain First hand knowledge of future schedules for study abroad opportunities.
●Share experiences, problems, and possible solutions.
