ABU DHABI: Representatives from leading Japanese universities and tertiary education institutions are currently visiting the UAE in efforts to enroll some of the UAE’s high school and university graduate students to continue their education in Japan.

At the Abu Dhabi’s largest higher education event NAJAH, five universities will be participating in person at the event starting Oct. 29, including: University of Tokyo; Nagoya University; Kyushu University; Sophia University; Nagoya University of Commerce and Business; Kyoto University of Advanced Science; and Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University

The promotional drive is spearheaded by JICE (Japan International Cooperation Center), which has the goal of encouraging Emirati students to develop their academic acumen in Japan, and JICE will be hosting the Japan pavilion at NAJAH Abu Dhabi.

Prospective students and their families will be able to meet with representatives in person from prestigious Japanese educational institutions.

Emirati students who have previously studied in Japan will also be present at the Japan Pavilion to offer hands-on information and details of their own experiences of studying in Japan, along with JICE Abu Dhabi Office staff members to offer consultation for prospective students and their families.

All seven participating universities at the Japan Pavilion not only provide undergraduate and postgraduate education in the Japanese language, but also offer courses in English, especially in fields that tend to be most popular among UAE students such as aeronautics and space engineering, renewable energy, environmental science, international relations, biotechnology, robotics, social welfare and commercial science.

Tokuya Kanamori, Manager Director, JICE Abu Dhabi Office, said: “Since the opening of the JICE Abu Dhabi office in 2013, JICE has been supporting Emirati youth to further their education in Japan, where many fields of study are available. Japan’s leading universities are keen to welcome the UAE’s brightest students. Currently 63 Emirati students are studying in Japan, and we hope to increase this number further.”
