Webinar Description:
In the 2012-2013 school year, Japan sent nearly 20,000 students to higher education institutions in the U.S., making it the seventh most popular feeder country. We can expect those numbers to increase thanks to renewed interest in studying abroad among Japanese students coupled with increasingly uncertain post-graduate employment prospects. In this WES webinar, regional expert Yuki Inoue will provide an in-depth look at the educational system in Japan and commonly issued academic documents, providing years of insight and knowledge to help inform your admissions decisions.
Topic Covered:
- Japanese educational system
- Key academic credentials from Japan
- Credit and grade conversions
- Essential resources for future research
Registration is limited to participants representing colleges or universities.
