Recently, high school students from the Fukuoka International School had visited Kyushu University to experience the environment and work culture. This visiting group of students and teachers were briefed about Kyudai’s admission process, student life and about our IUPE, by our 4th-year students Martin (Norway) and Ryan (USA). Later an interactive lunch session organized in IUPE common room, where the high school students got to meet and talk with Kyudai students, both international and Japanese.

This session was highly successful because a lot of them are considering applying to Kyushu University after graduating from high school. IUPE offers these students a unique opportunity to study in English in Japan, without the hassle of mastering the language first. Though it is open to only international students at the moment, the IUPE family is growing big and bigger every year and we hope to see Japanese students also join our classrooms soon. Then, we would be another step closer to globalization.

We wish the high school students from FIS good luck and hope to see them again!
