OVERSEA INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

Students of the Space Engineering program at International University will have some opportunities for an internship of 1-1.5 months in their 3rd year at Institute of Space and Astronautical Science - Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (ISAS/JAXA, Japan), Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI, Korea), and Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics (ASIAA, Taiwan). Moreover, students can choose to participate in an internship of 1-6 months (self-support) in order to gain knowledge in science and modern technology and to improve their designing skills at ISAS/JAXA. These programs will provide students with unique experiences in one of the most modern laboratories in the world.

During academic year 2016-2017, 2017-2018 and 2018-2019, eight excellent students were sent to ASIAA, Taiwan for their internships. All students have been sponsored accommodation (self-support airfare).

In academic year 2018-2019, Department of Physics has successfully sent one student to ISAS/JAXA, Japan and three students to KASI, Korea. All students had full finance support, including airfare, accommodation and local transportation.
