Experience Japan Exhibition 2012

Following the resounding success of last year's event, the Experience Japan Exhibition is back for a second year. The event will introduce the various exciting opportunities to study and work in Japan.

The Exhibition, which is being hosted by Keio University (Japan) and co-hosted by the British Council, will take place on Saturday 17 November at the Royal Society in London.

The focus of the event will be the provision of information on the various programmes of study offered by the 18 participating Japanese Higher Education institutions. There will also be a chance to find out about the variety of scholarships and research funding available to enable students to take advantage of these learning opportunities. The event will introduce other programmes that allow young British people to experience Japan, such as the Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme (JET). The seminar line-up offers participants the chance to hear directly from people with experience of studying and working in Japan. There will also be a session by a leading academic on technology in Japan as well as a talk on Japanese culture.

The aim of the event is to further the internationalization of the UK student body by showcasing the various options available to experience Japan, and so to boost student exchanges between the UK and Japan.
