From August 17 to August 30, 2025, Toyohashi University of Technology (TUT) organized an overseas training program in Penang, Malaysia, for our university students and KOSEN students.

A total of 28 students participated: 16 undergraduate students from TUT, 12 students from 7 KOSEN,  and 4 graduate students (Master's Program) who joined as facilitators. During the program, participants attended a lecture hosted by the Consulate-General of Japan in Penang, took part in English training sessions, joined a hackathon program at INTI College, interacted with local university students, visited companies, and explored George Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Students shared their impressions, such as:
"I enjoyed being able to interact with people from diverse backgrounds both inside and outside Japan, and I learned a lot."
"I realized again how important communication between people truly is."
"This program made me think that TUT would be a great choice for my future studies."
