Students from Japan resume short-term courses

Around 100 students from Nara Women’s University, Fukuyama University, Hokkaido University, Tokyo Agriculture University of Technology and the University of Nagano, among others, were on campus in the first half of the year.

Some of the students were integrated into Lincoln’s English for Academic Purposes classes, while others undertook tailored programmes that included lectures in agribusiness and tourism.

The groups also have the chance to see New Zealand and experience the Kiwi lifestyle, practise their English skills outside of the classroom, and experience a different way of teaching.

Students from Hong Kong Metropolitan University have also been on campus for two weeks after coming to Lincoln in 2022 for the first time.

A group of teachers from Taiwan’s National Dong Hwa University studied recently, while students from various universities in China also undertook a two-week course.

Lincoln University International Operations Manager, Patrick Yeung, said he expected to see more short-term students arriving later this year, and the visits added diversity to the classroom and the campus.
