[Graduate's Voice]
◎Name: Mr. Chan ◎Country of Origin: Hong Kong
For two years, I studied the basics to improve my language skills, knowledge that is useful in business situations, and most importantly, valuable translation and interpretation training at the Japanese Interpretation and Business Department. Besides classes, I was able to enjoy a more fulfilling school life than ever before through planning and running events on campus and volunteering outside of school.
