In 2005-06, the Office of University Outreach and International Programs (UOIP) established an agreement of cooperation with Kyoto University to provide an opportunity for a staff exchange between our two institutions on an annual alternating basis.

The Administrative Staff Internship at Kyoto University is an opportunity to:

• Study higher education in Japan and at Kyoto University
• Visit other universities and organizations in Japan
• Participate in a practicum at the International Affairs Division of Kyoto University with Japanese staff
• Study the education system in Japan and visit schools
• Give presentations about the U.S. higher education system and about U.C. Davis programs
• Learn about Japanese people, society and culture

Participation is open to UC Davis staff employed both in the UOIP office and those units reporting to the Vice Provost’s Office: UC Education Abroad Program, UC Davis Quarter Abroad and Summer Abroad Programs, Humphrey Fellowship Program, and Services for International Students and Scholars.

The internship program is planned for alternating years and will consist of a period of 4 to 8 weeks depending on approved release time and funding estimates. Familiarity with the Japanese language is recommended but not required. 

The selected intern will receive his/her UC Davis salary during the period of the internship, a per diem allowance for meals and lodging, as well as all travel expenses. Prior to departure, resources pertaining to the Japanese culture and work environment will be provided.
