Laboratory Training

In the Laboratory training curriculum, you are contemplated to earn foreign language capability and communication skill by taking part in practical internships, which is held in and out of Japan. There are 2 types of training, WINGS-provided and Self-promoting. WINGS-provided trainings are announced as they arise via e-mail and this page. Self-promoting trainings are accepted continually and judged to be approved. Exceptionally, the short-term overseas training is invited twice a year (on April and on September usually, now restricted due to COVID-19).
By reporting within 2 weeks after the (need approved, for Self-promoting one) training will satisfy 1 or 2 credits. The amount of credit will be decided in a nod to practice period and contents.
