Overseas training
Leaving Japan and visiting the world animal industry!
In Australia, Singapore or the United Kingdom, students will broaden their horizons and envision their future by learning about the animal situation in advanced animal countries abroad.
Through this overseas training, we want to develop human resources who can feel the difference between the world and the Japanese animal industry and can improve the field of the Japanese animal industry where the values of human life and animal life are not the same.
