We recruited applicants in December, 2020 and April, 2021 for the 2021 programs except Overseas Study Tour Support Program (Musha-shugyo Program). To respond to the requests for a supplementary call for application in accordance with the prospects of herd immunity of COVID-19, new measures for accepting students at the partner universities, and special measures for study abroad of the University of Tsukuba (*), we have decided to recruit more applicants. Considering the influences of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will support the study abroad programs with the special conditions for travel abroad as follows, as same as the April, 2021 call.
