7th IJS Junior Fellow

The Institute for Japanese Studies at Seoul National University has made efforts to nurture the next generation of Japanese experts and researchers along with various research activities. As part of these efforts, we are running a junior fellow program for undergraduates at Seoul National University from 2013. This program selects undergraduates who are interested in Japan as junior fellows of the institute. We aid their interest by opening special lectures for fellows only, supporting group activities, participating in institute academic events, and providing opportunities for exchange with Japanese university students. In addition, if the selected student meets certain requirements, a certificate for the activities of the junior fellows will be given, and students who are particularly exemplary will be given the opportunity to visit Japan. I would like to ask all of SNU undergraduate students for your interest and active participation in this program.
