The Japanese Studies Section is delighted to announce it has signed a new exchange agreement with Hitotsubashi University (Tokyo, Japan). The exchange agreement will allow one undergraduate student from FAMES to study at Hitotsubashi University for one academic year, and one graduate student from HU to come to FAMES for a semester.


2019 marks the fifth year of the Cambridge – Hitotsubashi Joint Seminar, an annual language and cultural exchange activity hosted in the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. This event has grown from humble beginnings and with the signing of this new exchange agreement we look forward to many more years of exchange and cooperation.
Following the day’s activities Cambridge and Hitotsubashi students and staff came together for a celebratory meal at Trinity College
A full report of the day’s events and pictures will be published in the next issue of the Japan and the World Newsletter
