UTokyo Amgen Scholars Program 2023 is a funded opportunity for international students who intend to pursue their careers in the field of biology and relevant sciences. Japan is dominating the world in the fields of technology and education. It is a dream destination for students who are aiming to get an education at the top-class institutes of the world. Furthermore, by offering them a fully-funded internship in 2023, Japan is attracting a lot of talented and passionate students.
All students who want to pursue significant research and high-quality education at Japan’s leading universities should take advantage of the research internship program. Numerous world-class institutes are offering hundreds of undergraduates the chance to participate in funded scientific research projects. In the US, this program was launched in 2006, and two years later, in Europe. This program was later launched in Japan in 2015 at Kyoto University and the University of Tokyo.
This summer internship program’s main objective is to support undergraduate students from different regions who are seeking a career in biology. Furthermore, it provides students who want to pursue graduate studies with an eight-week research experience in biomedical science. There is a number of graduate schools where such students will have the chance to network with top faculty and gain research experience from incredibly committed professors and researchers.
The Amgen Scholars Program 2023 intends to provide students with practical research experience. Students will have sufficient knowledge, skills, and experience to undertake research by the completion of their summer course. With the help of this program, overseas students can not only receive a top-notch education and research experience, but they also have the chance to interact with individuals from different cultural backgrounds.
