[Japan] Sophia University – Sophia Online January Session 2022

Warm greetings from Sophia University in Japan!

Sophia University was founded in 1913, when three Jesuit priests arrived in Japan in response to a request from the Roman Pontiff at that time. Until now, Sophie University remained true to their educational ideal, Men and Women for Others, with Others, and strive to nurture people who are keen to use their abilities to help others and society in general. To be able to achieve this, Sophia University develops diverse educational programs in diverse environments, to foster their students in expanding their knowledge and perspective.

We are pleased to inform you that the application for the Sophia Online January Session 2022 is now open for Universitas Gadjah Mada students.
