OVERSEAS FD PROGRAM

Overseas FD Program

 

 In this program, Division of Advanced Science and Biotechnology plans to accept many international students (at least 20% of master program enrollees, for example), providing them with lectures and research guidance in English. To ensure that all faculty members can provide lectures/instructions in English, Osaka University will dispatch faculty members to Faculty Development (FD) programs available in U.S. universities and other overseas institutes with which Osaka University is collaborating. At the FD programs, faculty members will study teaching methods using English. In principle, the programs will be held for two weeks during intersemester holidays. In recognition of the high quality of their programs, Osaka University has selected California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte as host organizations, in addition to other institutes with which Osaka University is collaborating. To evaluate the effect of FD programs, participants will be asked to submit reports and give presentations at symposiums after the programs.
