Message

Globalization has transitioned from merely optional to becoming an essential skill for students. However, the commencement of long-term study abroad, a catalyst for globalization, faces obstacles due to time constraints linked to specialized education, practical training, and the requirement for academic breaks. There is a demand to expand the availability of science-related study abroad programs that offer advantages to students. I aim to create curricula for study abroad degree programs specializing in the sciences, fostering internationally competitive professionals with experience and expertise.
