General Information
Overview
The 2024 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 practicalknow-how with enrichment as they are exposed to theauthentic environment of the automobile factory andresearch center. A Japanese language course is alsooffered.

Study with an Advanced
Curriculum that Gets Results
ー 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.
ー Each lecture is as demanding as it is rewarding,resulting from the commitment of Nagoya University
faculty and, in most cases, collaboration withindustrial researchers from Toyota, Honda, Nissan,
Mitsubishi and so forth.
ー Unlike many study opportunities abroad, the NUSIP
program is led exclusively by faculty, ensuring thesame quality education that students encounter on
their own campus.

Accommodations
University dormitory (single room with shared facilities)
and a hotel assigned by NUSIP for the night of June 11,
2024.

Meals
Lunch and dinner are available at the campus cafeteria
at a reasonable price.

Visa
Those who need a visa to enter Japan are responsible forgetting a temporary visitor (tourist) visa.

Health Insurance
NUSIP requires health insurance coverage for all overseas
participants. Japan's National Health Insurance system isavailable to foreigners with long-term visas for Japan only.
Therefore, overseas participants must purchase overseas
health insurance prior to arrival in Japan. They are required
to show proof of health insurance coverage on the first day ofsummer program.
