The 2025 AFIMA Leaders Program Opening Ceremony was held on Friday, April 4, 2025, weather permitting. A total of 15 international students will participate in the program: six from Pukyong National University (PKNU), six from Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT), and three from Ocean University of China (OUC). This year’s event had a record number of participants. Six current students from Nagasaki University also supported the international students. We will study together for about three months, from April to June.

 

 

At the opening ceremony, Professor Kazuaki Kawamoto, Dean of the Graduate School, gave a greeting.　「We will learn together from now until June. I would like the students to interact with each other, try various things, and experience Nagasaki’s culture. It is a short program, but good luck!」

 

 

 

Professor Hideki Nakayama, Vice-dean of the Graduate School, explained the program and the precautions to be taken in life in Nagasaki.
