- Short-term study abroad from NTMA
From October 14 to 19, 2018, 10 students from NTMA travelled to Japan and visited the National Institute of Technology’s Toyama College in Toyama prefecture for classes and onboard training on the college’s training ship. The students also visited NYK’s head office, the NYK Maritime Museum, and NYK Hikawamaru.
Students from both countries attended classes and training together, interacting with one another in English, and left with greater stimulation and motivation.
