[Japan] Wakayama University-Exchange Program for Spring 2023

Warm greetings from Wakayama University!

Wakayama University was founded in May 1949 as a new type of university with the goal and mission of “undertaking research and education in highly specialized academic fields, primarily in academia and culture, in accordance with the spirit of the Fundamental Law of Education and the School Education Law, in order to foster individuals who will contribute to society.”

The University was formed by the merger of three educational institutions, each with a long history and traditions of its own: Wakayama Normal School, Wakayama Normal School for Youth, and Wakayama Technical School of Economics. Initially, there were two faculties: the Faculty of Liberal Arts (now the Faculty of Education) and the Faculty of Science.

We are pleased to inform you that the Application for Wakayama University Societies Student Exchange Program for Spring 2023 is now open for Universitas Gadjah Mada students.
