A first year NITKC student of the Takamatsu Campus participated in the 2021 Dalian Neusoft University of Information Short-term Summer Online Study Abroad Program from August 30 to September 10, 2021.

This program provides the opportunity for Japanese students to experience cross-cultural exchange and study the Chinese language under an academic exchange agreement with Dalian Neusoft University of Information, which ranks as a top-level information technology education university in China.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were unable to conduct short-term study abroad in China this year; therefore, it was held as an online study abroad program as in the previous fiscal year.

The program was a truly valuable experience for the student participating in online exchange meetings with students of Dalian Neusoft University of Information, taking Chinese language lessons, and learning about Chinese traditional culture.
