Five years of adequate financial support allowing students to concentrate on study and research
Takuya Kikuchi Enrolled in April 2012
Because we can receive enough financial support, we are relieved of any financial burden and we can devote ourselves to our study.
In addition, we can choose the optimum environment for each of us individually because of the support provided to go abroad for one and a half years and the guaranteed housing in halls of residence. Particularly, the opportunities to study abroad such as the Internship in Overseas Companies are attractive to me. I can devote myself to a variety of ways of studying in this special program thanks to receiving this strong financial support.
