●Education: School of Japanese Studies,
Dalian University of Foreign Languages
●Post-IJLP: The University of Tokyo,
Graduate School of Public Policy
A fter completing my undergraduate studies, I came to Japan hoping to
undertake graduate study at a Japanese graduate school. One of my teachers
had recommended the IJLP at Takushoku University to me, and my decision to
study at IJLP was also influenced by my strong interest in Japanese culture. The
teachers at IJLP were extremely friendly and helpful, and very thorough in their
approach to teaching. They also helped me a great deal when I was preparing
my application documents for graduate school, by looking over the application
materials for me to see if anything needed changing. Studying at IJLP also gave me
the opportunity to make new friends among my fellow students. I am now looking
forward to continuing my studies at graduate school in a Japanese university, and
in the future I hope to work in the financial sector.

●Post-IJLP: Graduate School of
International Cooperation Studies,
Takushoku University
A fter completing my undergraduate studies, I hoped to get a job in which
I could use Japanese. However, because I was worried that my Japanese
language skills were not good enough, and because I had always wanted to study
overseas, I decided to come and study in Japan. Based on recommendations from
friends, and on my own perusal of the different schools＇ websites, I decided to
enroll in the IJLP at Takushoku University. The deciding factor that led me to
choose Takushoku University was that the University provides guidance to help
students secure admission to graduate schools in Japan. When I was preparing
to apply for entry to graduate school, the University staff listened attentively
to my plans, and they were happy to offer advice. I also felt that the content
of the teaching at IJLP was very comprehensive, and that the fees were very
reasonable. In the future, I hope to be able to find work in the field of international
cooperation, or become an interpreter.

I had been interested in Japanese culture ever since I was a child, and came to
Japan because I wanted to study Japanese. I found that the teachers at IJLP were
very knowledgeable, and I was very grateful for the way they made an effort to
match their teaching style to the needs of individual students, to make it easier
for students to master the material. Studying at IJLP gave me the chance to make
lots of new friends, and to learn more about other cultures. Takushoku University
has first-rate teachers and an outstanding learning environment, and I hope to
continue studying here. In the future, I plan to undertake graduate study, and
eventually to set up my own international business enterprise.
Do Thi Thu Huong

Finance, Dai Nam University
●Post-IJLP: Graduate School of
Economics, Takushoku University
A fter graduating from university, I came to Japan because I wanted to
develop a higher level of specialist expertise and undertake research on the
collaborative relationship between Japan and Vietnam. Aiming to improve my
Japanese language skills and secure admission to a Japanese graduate school,
I enrolled in the Intensive Japanese Language Program for Overseas Students
(IJLP) at Takushoku University. The University is located close to Tokyo city
center, and has a comprehensive range of facilities. I found that the teachers were
very enthusiastic and dedicated, and were happy to help us with living-related
problems. The fees at IJLP are also very reasonable compared to other schools, and
the school arranged a variety of field trips, parties and other enjoyable activities for
us. In the future, I hope to be able to work in a field connected to Vietnam-Japan
relations.
Au Chunming
●Country/region: Hong Kong
●Education: School of Continuing
Education, Hong Kong Baptist University
●Post-IJLP: Department of Business
Administration, Faculty of Commerce,
Takushoku University
A fter graduating from high school, I studied Japanese at a Japanese language
school while working full-time. I had the opportunity to travel to Japan for
a year on a working holiday, and was able to visit various different parts of Japan
during that time. I was enthralled by the beauty of Japan＇s natural scenery, and
decided that I wanted to study in Japan. On the recommendation of one of the
teachers at the Japanese language school that I was attending in Hong Kong, I
decided to enroll in the IJLP at Takushoku University. I found that the teachers at
IJLP were extremely enthusiastic; besides language instruction, they also taught
us a lot about Japanese customs and social etiquette. They were also very helpful
when I was trying to decide where to continue my studies.

●Education: Dalian No. 3 Middle School
(Senior High School)
●Post-IJLP: Department of International
Business, Faculty of Commerce,
Takushoku University
A fter studying at another Japanese language school for one year, I enrolled
in the IJLP at Takushoku University. Studying at the IJLP gave me the
opportunity to study not just Japanese, but also various other subjects, with
English as one of the required subjects, and as a result I have been able to
acquire a great deal of new knowledge. The teachers at IJLP speak many different
languages, and if we had any questions they were always able to explain things to
us quickly and precisely. I found that my Japanese listening and conversation skills
improved dramatically. In the future, I hope to able to work either in the tourist
sector, welcoming foreign tourists, or else as an international businessman in a
multinational corporation.
