[Japan] Kanazawa University –KU Short-term Exchange Program 2022-2023

Warm greetings from Kanazawa University in Japan!

 

Kanazawa University is a leading university on the Sea of Japan coast. The University has significantly contributed to Japanese higher education and academic research since it was founded in 1949. One of the University’s charms lies in studying in Kanazawa, a city rich in history and traditional culture. Kanazawa has cultivated a respected intellectual profile since the time of the Kaga fiefdom (1598 – 1867). Lively interaction among students, communication with staff, and the local community make it the perfect venue for personal growth and development.
