The Study Abroad Foundation concept is based on the value of universities working together in multilateral networks to share resources and develop the specialized knowledge necessary for study abroad to be an essential part of their internationalization process. Click here to read more.


Study Abroad Foundation (SAF)


The SAF provides opportunities to study at a university in the U.S. & Canada, England, Scotland and Ireland, as well as Australia & New Zealand for one year or one semester including English language learning as part of the program (if required). Academic credit transfer between universities is possible.

Flexibility and Variety


The SAF's "visiting student study abroad program" is designed to provide the maximum level of flexibility and variety in order to meet the study abroad interest and needs of undergraduate university students from Japan, Korea and Taiwan. The SAF understands the diverse academic calendars in the Asia-Pacific region and the varying levels of English proficiency of potential participants.  With these factors in mind, we have created a program with flexible start dates and English language "pre-semester" or "pre-sessional" programs that accommodate students with TOEFL scores between 133-250 CBT or a 4.5-6.5 IELTS.  Learn more
