Join Meijo Summer School 2015

Meijo University will hold a two-week summer program in 2015 which has been designed for students who are studying at our current, and future, partner universities. This program offers participants an opportunity to learn about the industry and culture of central Japan, specifically, the Chubu area. This central region, where Meijo University is located, is the center of automotive technology and industry, most famously represented by Toyota Motor Corporation. Students will learn how Toyota has become a successful global company in both the automobile and manufacturing industry. In addition, students will explore and experience local Japanese culture, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of the Chubu region and all that it has to offer. We hope that you will join us for a rich and fulfilling summer experience.
