Study Abroad Programs
There are two types of study abroad programs: study abroad at an institution with which the university has an agreement (partner institution) and study abroad at a university, language school, or other non-partner institution that you have found on your own. This section describes study abroad at a partner institution.
Ehime University Student Abroad (Short-term) Program
Short-term programs (1 week to less than 3 months) offered by various faculties. Some programs are led by faculty members, making it easy for students who are going abroad for the first time or experiencing study abroad for the first time to participate.
Some of the programs are registered as courses and credits can be earned.
Ehime University Student Overseas Study (Long-term) Program
This is a scholarship program that provides a monthly stipend of approximately 20,000-50,000 yen (* maximum 300,000 yen, depending on budget, destination, etc.) to students who are going on long-term (3 months to less than one year) exchange programs at partner universities of the University. Applications are accepted twice a year. Exchange students do not need to pay tuition fees to their study abroad destination as long as they pay their tuition fees to Ehime University. In addition, some of the credits earned at the study abroad destination may be read as credits at Ehime University. However, since exchange students are sometimes required to have a high level of language ability, it is important to start planning and preparing for the exchange early.
