This event marked an important milestone in strengthening international cooperation while opening up promising academic and career pathways for HUFLIT students in Japan.
The signing ceremony was attended by Assoc. Prof. Ph.D. Nguyen Ngoc Vu, Vice President of HUFLIT; M.A. Nguyen Thi Thieu, Head of the Office of External Relations; and representatives of the Faculty of Oriental Studies and the Faculty of International Relations and Communication. Representing Kanto Gakuin University was a delegation led by Professor Hiroki Yoshida, Vice President, along with professors in charge of social sciences and humanities disciplines. The signing of the MOA stands as clear evidence of both institutions’ commitment to building a sustainable environment for cultural and educational exchange, enabling HUFLIT students to gain deeper access to Japan’s high-quality postgraduate education system.
Immediately afterward, the specialized report titled “Career Orientation in Japan” was conducted in two sessions, delivered in English and Japanese, attracting strong interest from students majoring in languages and cultural studies. During the sessions, experts from Kanto Gakuin University shared practical insights into the Japanese labor market, recruitment trends, and career development pathways for international students. In addition, comprehensive information on KGU’s undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral programs at the Faculty of Intercultural Studies—including fields such as English Language and Culture, Comparative Cultural Studies, and Sociology—was introduced to HUFLIT students.
A notable highlight of this cooperation agreement lies in the preferential policies offered to HUFLIT students participating in the exchange program. Eligible students will receive a full waiver of the admission fee valued at 150,000 yen, along with a complete tuition fee exemption ranging from 500,000 to 580,000 yen depending on the major. To apply, students are required to have Japanese language proficiency at the N2 level (which may be substituted with a faculty confirmation letter) or an appropriate level of English proficiency.
The event concluded successfully, marking a new milestone in HUFLIT’s strategy to expand international partnerships. Through strong academic and financial support commitments from Kanto Gakuin University, HUFLIT students are presented with expanded opportunities to enhance their professional competence and prepare solid foundations to become high-quality human resources in the global working environment.
