Voice of International Students

One electrode was the reason which made me decide to come to Japan. When I was a high school student, an owner of a small factory in my hometown coincidently told me how much the Kobe-Seido’s electrode is useful compared to the home made electrode which is less useful. I was very impressed by the high quality Japanese tools.
After graduating from high school, I decided to study in Japan choosing Kokushikan University, an institution which was famous for the electrode discipline.
Kokushikan University is a university that has one of the best research environments and facilities.


During my 2 years in the graduate program of Engineering, I have been researching friction stir welding. As a result, I held three presentations for the Japan Society Mechanical Engineering, the Japan Society Technology of Plasticity and the International symposium. Through the presentations, I have improved my sequence steps of the working method and skills such as project planning, producing experiment devices, learning the professions, conceptual engineering experiments, training my Japanese and English abilities and how to best describe the presentations.
After completing the graduate program of Engineering, I have an ambition to become a professional in the engineering area. Therefore, I enrolled into the Graduate School of Business Administration.


I have experienced various things like cross-cultural conversations, teaching assistance and part time jobs in my student life in Japan.
There were some hard times that I had to face in my life in Japan but my respectful teacher and friends were the one’s to support me which helped me move on, and that became a valuable experience for me.
I will be working in the robot industry in Japan from April. I would like to contribute using my knowledge of business and engineering techniques that I learned at Kokushikan Universkity.
