What do you enjoy about Tsukuba (University of Tsukuba and Tsukuba City)?
Tsukuba is a peaceful city, and the university campus is beautiful and refreshing, with an international environment. I was able to learn a lot about different cultures in addition to Japanese. The courses offered at the university are comprehensive and with interactive classes. Tsukuba is a nice place and if you get yourself a bicycle you can explore it to the fullest. Coming from the tropical region, I found Japan exciting. I enjoyed the different seasons, and spring (Sakura) is my favorite, as it is for many. Winter in Tsukuba is mild, with snow appearing only once or twice a year. The city also hosts many food and beer festivals at the Tsukuba Center, which are great opportunities to enjoy with friends and make new ones. As someone who just loves good food, I was delighted by the variety of delicious ramen in Tsukuba. I’ve noticed that some people refer to Tsukuba as 'Tsukuba Ramen City' in addition to its well-known title, 'Tsukuba Science City.' All in all, Tsukuba is a pleasant place to live, and I highly recommend students to pursue a degree here.
What do you want to accomplish as a student of the University of Tsukuba during your study period?
I am currently in the final year of my PhD in Materials Science and Engineering. When I joined the School, my aim was to make the most out of my courses and upskill myself for independent materials research, which I believe I have achieved. Engaging with the lecturers and researchers allowed me to understand several topics within materials science and gain a broader perspective. Additionally, I wanted to expand my professional network, which I was able to do by attending and contributing to technical conferences. My network, including the members of my research group, has been invaluable in shaping my career path. This period of my life was also significant for making multicultural friends and learning about different countries and cultures—an experience that I will always cherish. My time in Tsukuba will remain a beautiful memory.
