[Student's Voice]
◎ Department of Fashion Creation ◎ Country of origin: China
I can grasp not only clothing design but also a broader view of fashion, and pursue the expression I want to do. In order to further hone my fashion illustration techniques, I plan to incorporate video and 3D modeling, and take on new methods of expression.

◎Department of Design and Modeling ◎Country of origin: Armenia
I decided to go to Bunka Gakuen University, which is well-known for its fashion and design fields, to learn design skills. I am learning a wide range of subjects, including sculpture, painting, textiles, and jewelry design. In the future, I hope to become a jewelry designer.
