How has the completion of your course supported you in your career?
The course I studied left me full of new ideas and they have been very helpful in my current career. UK and Japan have different climates, soil, techniques and technology but the principles and decision-making are the same. Writtle’s modern and practical course allowed me to introduce new techniques and technology.
Why did you choose to study at Writtle University College?
I chose Writtle as it offers good, strong support for international students. I needed this as I needed to increase the level of my English and because the environment was completely new and different. There is also good access to London and Heathrow Airport from Writtle.
What does Writtle University College mean to you?
I treasure my uni life in Writtle. Not only study but also the social life in a different environment and culture was a precious experience.
What did you particularly enjoy about your course?
I basically enjoyed everything but the field trip was my most favourite as I could hear from professionals and see actual facilities. After studying at a desk, exploring the outside world stimulated my brain and was a good refreshment.
