In Faculty of Environment Science of Nagasaki Univeristy, the study abroad program distinguishes it from other universities in Japan. Although the period of the study abroad program is short, we believe that it is an authentic experience. Students from our faculty can study abroad for short periods of time at seven foreign universities in Australia (Deakin University), Thailand (Mahidol University), Sweden (Lund University), Taiwan (Tam Kang University), U.K. (Lancaster University) and the U.S.A.(Metropolitan State University & University of California at Berkeley). In the summer, students from these seven universities are invited to attend this faculty’s summer school and to study about the environment. This arrangement allows students from each university to continue visiting each other’s universities. Exchange students visiting Nagasaki do not solely attend lectures, but they are also assigned fieldwork and group presentation. Our faculty’s students strengthen international cultural exchange by participating in these assignments as support for the exchange students, participating a group discussion, hosting a welcome party, and showing the exchange students around tourist attractions. In turn, our students, who become acquaintances of the exchange students, are similarly taken care of wherever they go when they study abroad.
