May this year 2022 be your best ever… Study in Japan Global Network Project, entrusted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science andTechnology(MEXT-Japan), is here for you to deliver the information on studying in Japan especially on undergraduate courses.

［News］Study in Japan for Africa University Search Data Portal
We have launched the "University Search Data Portal" with the aim of further promoting study in Japan from sub-Saharan Africa. The portal currently contains
information on over 700 courses offered by 67 universities and educational institutions. With this Data Portal, prospective students can search by various items

such as field of study and name of universities in Japan.
With the increasing number of opportunities to provide information online, the Data Portal is expected to become a tool that will make study in Japan moreaccessible to prospective students by consolidating information on the timing and method of application to each university.
In particular, for those who wish to study in Japan for a short period of time as exchange students, the Data Portal includes information on Japanese universities
that have concluded inter-university agreements with universities in sub-Saharan Africa, where there is possibility to have exchange programs in Japan. This
makes it the only data portal for study in Japan that is specialized for this region.
