Japanese colleges allowed to offer courses overseas

The education ministry has issued a notification to allow Japanese universities and graduate schools to offer their undergraduate and graduate courses overseas in an apparent move to support their extension abroad, ministry sources said Monday।

While no universities have concrete plans to go international at present, it will be possible for students to gain credits at Japanese colleges without visiting Japan।

So far, Japanese colleges have been required to establish local subsidiaries when they promote educational and research activities overseas।

In advancing overseas, colleges and graduate schools need to fulfill certain criteria in the number of teachers and in facilities, according to the sources at the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology।
