students who have gained education in Japan through the program, which
commenced in 2001 in Mongolia, 389 students, having completed Master’s and 7 Doctoral
programs, are currently working in various sectors such as governmental
organizations and the Bank of Mongolia.
Through
the JDS program, a total of 14 students will study within the 24th cohort of
Master’s programs, namely 2 students at Saitama University, 2 at International
University of Japan, 3 at Meiji University, 2 at the National Graduate Institute
for Policy Studies, 2 at Hiroshima University, 1 at Rikkyo University, and 2 at
Nagoya University. As for the 9th cohort of Doctorate programs, which commenced
in 2016, one student will study at the University of Tsukuba.
