<About Face-to-Face Consultation>

During “Japanese Studies Intensive Course”, there are sessions of Face-to-Face Consultation with Experts, apart from Open lectures of the Japanese studies. In this Face-to-Face Consultation, applicant will be given an opportunity to consult for an hour with one of the Japanese experts whose specialty is closest to yours. The expert will give applicant the insightful advice about applicant’s research from their wide and deep knowledge and expertise of the field. We believe this session will be a golden opportunity for those who wish to study further in Japan or those who wish to pursue their career as Japanese researchers.

Hence, in order to make most of this opportunity, applicant is expected to have at least a research plan, though it is more preferred if already possessing a thesis, so that Japanese experts will be able to give you substantial advice. Please understand that this session is for applicant to receive expert’s advice in limited time, so each applicant is expected to fully utilize a given chance.

After submitting the application, there will be selection procedure, and we will directly inform selected applicant for their timing of the consultation. We wish this program would encourage the aspiring young researcher/student to gain insight about Japanese studies which would help their future career.
