[Tokyo] Saga University – Student Exchange Program for Spring 2023

Warm greetings from Saga University, Tokyo!

Saga University was a consequence of an amalgamation of many Japanese high schools and schools in 1949 (often shortened to Sagadai or Sadai). In 2003, the Saga Medical School was subsequently combined to form today’s Saga University. The University of Saga, distributed across two universities: Culture and Education, Finance, Health, Technology, Engineering and Agriculture, and Nabeshime, Saga University. By 2011, foreign exchanges have been conducted at the grassroots level with other colleges, but Saga already has a designated international exchange promotion center, with proven connections with colleges in Asia, Europe, and the U.S.
