The Office of International Affairs (OIA) Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) held its third information session featuring Kumamoto University on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at Gelanggang Inovasi dan Kreativitas (GIK) UGM. The event provided insights into academic programmes, scholarship opportunities, and practical steps for pursuing higher education in Japan.

The session featured Mia Hernawati, an officer of the Kumamoto University Liaison Office at Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS). During her presentation, Mia introduced Kumamoto University and discussed the academic opportunities available to international students, highlighting Japan as a destination for those seeking quality education and international experience

“Japan is an excellent destination for students seeking quality education and international academic experience. With a wide range of study opportunities and scholarship programmes available, students can pursue their academic goals while gaining valuable experiences in an international environment,” she noted.

For some students, Japan offers more than an opportunity to pursue higher education abroad. Its well-developed public transportation system, convenient mobility, and comfortable living environment also make it an appealing destination for international study.

“Japan is an appealing place to study because getting around is convenient, thanks to its well-developed public transportation system. The comfortable living environment is also one of the things that attracts me to Japan,” one participant shared.

UGM’s longstanding academic partnership with Kumamoto University provides students with opportunities to pursue further study in Japan. These include the International Joint Education Program (IJEP), which offers master’s and doctoral study opportunities in science and engineering, as well as short-term student exchange programmes with potential scholarship support for eligible applicants.

In addition to introducing these opportunities, the discussion addressed practical considerations for prospective applicants, including application preparation, available funding options, and the application process. Participants also had the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about pursuing higher education in Japan.

Through this initiative, OIA UGM continues to support the UGM academic community in accessing international education opportunities and preparing for global academic experiences. By providing information on overseas study pathways and funding opportunities, the session encouraged students to explore options that align with their academic interests and future goals.
