Japan University Consortium (JUC) Student Voices Event

The Japan University Consortium (JUC) is a group of 15 universities in Japan that have been offering specialized events and webinars during COVID-19 due to travel restrictions.

In March 2021, the JUC each selected a student representative to answer questions from those interested to learn more about studying in Japan. With over 800 signups there was plenty of interest from students, parents, and high school counselors worldwide.

Topics covered part-time work, internships, scholarships, life in Japan, making Japanese friends, campus life and more!

Hosted by ICU, Sakurako a 4th-year student from Japan did a great job in coordinating the event

Student panelists included Utama (Indonesia), Sakshi (India), Giulia (Brazil/Italy), Shihab (Egypt), Umar (Mozambique), Nicole (Philippines), Nimrah (Pakistan), and Taiga (Japan) showcasing the diverse range of students pursuing higher education in Japan.
