About<\/h3>\n

The JDS Program, originally part of the Japanese Government\u2019s overseas development assistance and funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency, was established at the University of Tsukuba in 2002 in the former Master\u2019s Program in International Area Studies. During the program\u2019s 20-year history from 2002 to 2022, 136 Fellows from 10 Asian countries have graduated from our course. From 2013, the JDS Program has been funded by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and welcomes Fellows from China.<\/p>\n

J-TAN, the JDS Tsukuba Alumni Network, was established in September 2023 to help celebrate the University of Tsukuba\u2019s 50th Anniversary in Tsukuba. We encourage all current and former Fellows to join J-TAN and keep in touch.<\/p>\n
