The Asian Satellite Campuses Institute

The Asian Satellite Campuses Institute (ASCI) has been established as a core component of Nagoya University's international outreach initiatives. Focusing on the Asian region, ASCI has established satellite campuses in the six countries of Cambodia, Vietnam, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Laos and the Philippines. In close collaboration with six graduate schools at Nagoya University, ASCI coordinates the delivery of the Transnational Doctoral Programs for Leading Professionals in Asian Countries, which is described further below.

The Transnational Doctoral Programs for Leading Professionals in Asian Countries

The Transnational Doctoral Programs for Leading Professionals in Asian Countries is a unique program offered by Nagoya University. ASCI, in collaboration with the Graduate School of Law, the Graduate School of Medicine, the Graduate School of Bioagricultural Sciences, the Graduate School of International Development, the Graduate School of Environmental Studies and the Graduate School of Education and Human Development is offering special research-based doctoral programs, which primarily target professionals in government positions from the six countries that host its satellite campus facilities. This is a hybrid doctoral program which provides opportunities for individuals, who already have a master's degree, to deepen their knowledge and experience and work towards a doctoral degree at one of Japan's top universities without having to take time out from their career.
