Wakaba Project (non-credit-bearing)

International Collaboration PBL
In NU-COIL, around the time the student goes abroad to study, or during the actual period of study abroad, internships are carried out in leading corporations, organizations and government bodies with which Nanzan has built up relationships. In addition, in response to topics put forward by the corporations etc. students from both countries suggest effective solutions to the problems after their research and discussions transcending differences in culture, language and academic approach. NU-COIL's unique links between industry, government and academia allow students to deal with more practical cases put forward by corporations involved in PBL COIL. Making the most of the internship experience including information and insights gained in the field, NU-COIL fosters an ability to excel in a globalized society.
