The Japan Ryugaku Awards selected recommended universities and vocational schools for international students by the vote from staff of Japanese Language schools in Japan and the sixth award ceremony was held this year.
YNU won the prize in the category of National and Public Universities of East Japan in 2015 and 2016. This year, we received a grand prize for the first time and it was a great honor for us to be awarded.
Executive Director and Vice President Fumihiko Nakamura attended the award ceremony and mentioned “Thank you very much and it is a great honor to receive such a prize. Receiving high evaluation in the education content will encourage us. On the other hand, evaluation in cooperation with Japanese Language schools is not so high, so we hope to improve on that in the future.”
This year, YNU won the prize in the category of graduate schools of East Japan for the first time. We believe that our active efforts to accept international students were evaluated by these prizes and it was very delightful to us.
Through these honorable awards, we would like to provide further support for the international students in the future.
