Common Issue
about the Student Exchange
An unbalance exists between Japanese
students going to study in the Europe vis-à-vis
students from your countries coming to study in
Japan. The same happens for young
researchers.
300,000 International Students Plan
Points
○ Receive 300,000 overseas students in Japan by 2020
○ Raise international competitiveness of Japanese universities’ education and
research in order to strategically attract excellent overseas students
○ Implement Plan via linkage among related ministries and agencies
Measures
１．Proactively invite overseas students to Japan
２．Improve entrance exam, enrollment and visa procedures
３．Advance globalization of universities
４．Improve living environment for overseas students
５．Improve post-graduation/course completion services
Global 30
FY2009 budget: JPY4.1 billion/ USD 41 million/ EUR 31 million
Select universities to become internationalization hubs that provide high-quality
education/research programs and offer easily adaptable environment for
overseas students
