Information on study in Japan

The Japanese government is making efforts to increase the number of foreign students studying in Japan as a way to nurture and strengthen friendships with other countries.

A survey conducted up to May 2002 disclosed that 95,550 foreign students were studying in Japan, of which 1,441 were Indonesians.

Information on study in Japan, particularly the Mombukagakusho scholarship, is available at the Education (Information) Section, at the Embassy of Japan and Japanese consulates. More wide- ranging and detailed information on study in Japan is available at the Association of International Education, Japan (AIEJ), a foundation established for the sole purpose of providing information on study in Japan to foreign students interested in studying in Japan, or for Japanese students interested in studying abroad.

AIEJ opened a branch office in Jakarta in October 1996 and holds an annual Japan Education Fair.
