4th European Higher Education Fair in Japan

04/05/2015
The Delegation of the European Union to Japan, together with Campus France, the German Academic Exchange Service and many other Japanese entities, will organise in May the "European Higher Education Fair 2015". Building on the continued success of this event since its launch in 2012, this year will see a record 66 booths in Tokyo. Furthermore, 15 EU Member States - the largest number to date - are taking part, with Denmark and Greece joining for the first time.

The fair aims to showcase some of the most interesting higher education programmes Europe has to offer. The 2014 event saw over 2,000 visitors attend over three days: a clear indication of the heighened interest among Japanese students and researchers to study in Europe. 

At the fair, which will take place on 15-16 May at Meiji University's Surugadai Campus in Tokyo and 17 May at Doshisha University's Imadegawa Campus in Kyoto, 32 higher education institutions and 16 embassies/officiel education promotion agencies will provide the latest information on their study programmes and courses.


Having welcomed about 290,000 foreign students in 2012-2013, France remains very attractive: it is the third destination of foreign students in international mobility, according to UNESCO. 

Indeed, a mutual recognition agreement of studies, diplomas and credits between France and Japan has been signed, in May 2014, in order to boost student mobility for both countries. The CDEFI was one of the agreement's signatories, along with the Japan Association of National Universities (JANU) and the French Conference of University Presidents (CPU).
