This August, 23 students in engineering and other scientific fields arrived in Japan to begin their 8-month Vulcanus in Japan internship programme.
Coming from eight EU member states, as well as Serbia and Turkey, this talented group started their journey at the renowned Naganuma Japanese Language School, where they undertook two months of intensive Japanese language training. In early October, they joined leading host companies across Japan for their internships, which will continue until March 2026.
Eager to challenge themselves, explore new ideas, and immerse in Japanese culture, these students will also gain unique professional experience in their respective fields. We wish them the very best of luck as they embark on this exciting adventure.
Upcoming calls for participation:
• November–December 2025: Recruitment of host companies
• November 2025: Applications open for students
