KHULNA, Oct 19, 2025 (BSS) - Seven students from the Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) Discipline of Khulna University (KU) are set to visit Japan to take part in the Sakura Science Exchange Programme as part of collaboration between KU and the University of Yamanashi.
The visit, scheduled for October 26 to November 1, comes under a MoU signed between the two universities earlier this year. The KU team will be led by Professor Dr Sohel Mahmud Sher of the ECE Discipline.
The participating students are - Md Touhidul Islam, Imu Khatun, and Chaitali Nandi from the master’s programme (batch ’25), and Md Sabuj Ali, Ontu Kumar Guha, Shawon Islam, and Amit Bala from the bachelor’s programme (batch ’22).
During their stay in Japan, the students will take part in lab visits, workshops, seminars and industry tours at the University of Yamanashi.
They will also learn about Japan’s advances in artificial intelligence (AI), optical communication and modern technology, alongside experiencing the country’s culture and education system.
Earlier, the students paid a courtesy call on KU Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr Md Rezaul Karim, who congratulated them and expressed hope that they would uphold the university’s reputation abroad.
The vice-chancellor urged the participants to make the utmost use of the opportunity by exploring research and higher studies prospects in Japan.
So far this year, a total of 10 KU students have travelled abroad under various exchange programmes.
The VC said these initiatives would help expand the university’s global academic collaboration network.
