ABOUT

Tohoku University Engineering Summer Program (TESP) is a two-week international summer program designed to inspire engineering students from the TESP partner institutions. TESP provides a series of lectures and hands-on activities on advanced topics. All courses are offered entirely in English for students in engineering fields. In addition, the program includes the cultural activities that expose participants to Japanese culture and allow them to enrich their academic experience, such as “Kimono” dressing, tea ceremony, field trips, and so on. The participants will also have a chance to enjoy “Tanabata”, a traditional festival of Sendai city.
