Reports for exchange programs
GSAPS is pleased to publish “Reports for exchange programs” submitted by students currently participating in exchange programs for students who are considering studying abroad in the future.
We have received reports not only from university-wide agreement and departmental agreement study abroad programs, but also from exchange students who have been accepted as international students from partner universities abroad, so we believe that a lot of useful information will be obtained from both the dispatchers and the recipients.
If you are considering participating in an exchange program in the future, or if you are at all interested, please refer to the reports of our senior students.
