Purpose of introducing the quarter system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ehime University introduced the “quarter system” in FY2016 to improve educational effects by enabling students to study more intensively and to bring out their active learning attitudes, to facilitate short-term study abroad and internships in Japan and overseas for 2 to 3 months, to develop flexible educational activities, and to improve international mobility. The “Quarter System” has been introduced (Common Education, Faculty of Law and Letters, Faculty of Social Co-creation, and part of the Faculty of Science and Faculty of Engineering).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
