Saga University - Autumn Asian Economics Student Summit 2019



Saga and Saga University

Saga prefecture is located in northwest of Kyushu bordering Genkai Sea to the North, Fukuoka prefecture to the East, Ariake Sea to the South, and Nagasaki prefecture to the West. Saga offers plenty of natural wonders, technological marvels, history and artistry. The prefecture is best known for being the birthplace of ceramics in Japan, agriculture, international balloon fiesta, shrines and hot springs.

Saga National University is located in the Saga City, the capital of Saga Prefecture. Established in 1949, the university has six faculties: Agriculture, Art and Regional Design, Economics, Medicine, and Science and Engineering. In addition, postgraduate programs are offered at the Graduate Schools of Agriculture, Regional Design, Medical Science, and Science and Engineering. There are about 225 international undergraduate and postgraduate students from 27 countries studying at Saga University.

Economics Faculty Autumn Program

The main purpose of this program is to enable the students of Asian partner universities and Saga University to think about various aspects of the sustainable development, discover problems, and come up with possible solutions in their respective countries. By providing opportunities to share knowledge and learn together with foreign students and local residents in Saga during the field visits, international symposium, and homestays, it also aims to develop mutual understanding of each other and build long lasting relationship between Japan and Asia. Human resources developed in such a way are expected to play an important role in strengthening and sustainability of their own economies in the face of global competition.
