Overview

The 2025 summer program at Nagoya University will provide students with a rare opportunity to connect with and play a role in automobile technology. The program offers academic credits towards students’ engineering degrees and beyond the core curriculum, students may further supplement their practical know-how with enrichment as they are exposed to the authentic environment of the automobile factory and research center. A Japanese language course is also offered.

Study with an Advanced Curriculum that Gets Results

• Each lecture invites you to learn in a new context, in new ways, gaining perspectives that shape the way you engage with the automobile world.
• Each lecture is as demanding as it is rewarding, resulting from the commitment of Nagoya University faculty and, in most cases, collaboration with industrial researchers from Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi and so forth.
• Unlike many study opportunities abroad, the NUSIP program is led exclusively by faculty, ensuring the same quality education that students encounter on their own campus.
