Student 's Message

After arriving in Japan, I met a graduate of Kyoto University of Foreign Studies, which was the reason for my admission. At the Faculty of International Contribution, you can learn a wide range of issues in the world, which greatly expands your horizons. In the fall of my second year, I participated in a program to think about world issues with American university students in "Community Engagement" and learned the importance of cross-cultural understanding. Currently, I am deepening my knowledge through classes such as "International Development Cooperation" with the goal of working at the United Nations and UNICEF.
