16-Apr-2019 Start of Student Application for the UMAP-COIL Honors Program 2019
Greetings from UMAP International Secretariat!
We are pleased to announce that the application for UMAP-COIL Honors Program 2019 is now open.
UMAP-COIL is a program where up to 25 students participate in a two-week Peace Boat cruise in the Asia-Pacific region, departing from Osaka and then making stops at various ports for a half-day of field work, as well as university visits in Japan, South Korea, and Russia. The cruise will be enhanced by utilizing the COIL-style educational method.
COIL stands for “Collaborative Online International Learning”, a form of teaching which uses Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to connect students in different countries so that they can participate together in projects designed to boost their understanding of various fields or to help them acquire specific skills.
