Overview

The trip

Tokyo and Osaka give students a front-row seat to how Japan builds its culture of technology and innovation.

In Tokyo, students explore cutting-edge technology at the University of Tokyo and experience Japan's tech-driven culture through robotics labs, drone innovation centres and interactive science museums, seeing how centuries-old traditions intersect with modern engineering. Hands-on workshops in advanced manufacturing, alongside tours of Japan's transportation systems and smart city initiatives, connect classroom engineering concepts to real infrastructure.

In Osaka, students study innovation in culinary science, urban design and applied technology, seeing first-hand how creativity shapes Japan's industries.
