University of Shimane Holds Entrance Exam in Yinchuan

On April 1, the University of Shimane held the 2022 entrance exam in Yinchuan through online interviews and offline written exam. As a regular cooperation program between Ningxia and its international friendship city Shimane, two outstanding students will be selected this year to study in Japan with full scholarships offered by the Shimane government. 

Founded in 1993, the University of Shimane is a comprehensive public university in Japan certified by the Ministry of Education, PRC. The university has long supported and participated in the friendly relations between the two sides and played an important role in enhancing exchanges in higher education. According to the agreement signed by the two local governments under the framework of international friendship cities in 2002, one or two students from Ningxia will be admitted to the University of Shimane for bachelor’s degree each year with full scholarships available. To date, 20 batches or 29 students in total have been offered the opportunity to study in Japan, which boosted friendship among young people and bilateral cultural exchanges.

Ningxia Foreign Affairs Office (NXFAO) and the University of Shimane, for the first time, included high school graduates in the exam this year, with a view to benefiting more students. NXFAO also promoted the program through various ways to attract more young people, so as to inject new dynamism in Ningxia’s high-standard opening up.
