Details
Eligible users include Japanese companies (excluding Japanese-affiliated companies overseas), local governments, industry associations, and others that are considering industry-academia collaboration with universities to recruit highly skilled foreign professionals or for future recruitment. The desk promotes collaboration and exchanges between these users and overseas universities.
Search criteria include country or region, university name, recruitment and internship records at Japanese companies and Japanese-affiliated companies, and the availability of Japanese-language education. JETRO offices in South Asia and Indonesia, including five offices in India, gathered information by interviewing local partner organizations and universities.
Overseas University Search was launched as a service that makes it easier to find universities suited to users’ needs than the former report-format Overseas University Directory.
