Program period: 15 August to 31 August, 2025
After preparatory study at KGU from August 15th to 16th, each pair, composed of a student from KGU and a student from a Canadian university, will work together for 10 days, gaining practical experience in a real business environment in Japan. Internship locations will be allocated before students arrive in Japan, and they may be placed not only in the Kansai area, but also in Tokyo and other regions. After completing their internship, students will deliver a presentation and write a report on their findings.
This is a great opportunity to build intercultural awareness, gain insight into major corporations and the issues they are tackling, and make international and business connections, particularly for students in non-Business backgrounds, while gaining academic credit.
The Global Internship in Japan is a 2 week, 3-credit course held in Japan.
