“Studying and experiencing life in Japan has long been my dream. I am truly grateful to VNU and the International School for giving me this opportunity to join the Fall Exchange Program at Kyoto University. Over the next five months, I hope to learn new things from Japan’s advanced education system while exploring its rich culture and people. I believe that after this journey, I will return as a more mature, confident, and resilient version of myself,” shared Khanh Van.
The Fall 2025 Student Exchange Program offers valuable opportunities for academic development and cross-cultural exchange for VNU students, including those from the International School. Taking place from October 2025 to February 2026, the program provides tuition waiver at Kyoto University and allows participants to take courses under the Kyoto University International Education Program (KUINEP), which is entirely taught in English.
Through the program, students not only gain exposure to a dynamic international learning environment and cutting-edge knowledge but also have the chance to deepen their understanding of Japanese culture, enhance their language skills, and strengthen global integration competencies. Applicants are required to maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0/4.0, possess an IELTS score of at least 6.5 or TOEFL iBT 79, and remain enrolled as university students during the program period.
This is a valuable opportunity for Vietnamese students to affirm their academic capabilities, foster personal growth, and expand their horizons within one of Asia’s leading educational environments.
