I became interested in marketing after seeing Japanese
advertisements and wanted to study it. After listening to a senior at
the University of Marketing and Distribution Sciences, I decided toenroll here because I felt reassured by the support provided by theInternational Student Support Division. At university, I made friends
with Vietnamese students as well as foreign students from othercountries and Japanese students. As for my studies, my best
memory was working on various activities with my seminar teachersand members. During my job-hunting activities, I used theemployment department and participated in guidance sessions. In
the end, after analyzing myself, I applied to a company where I could
make the most of my merits and strengths and received a job oﬀer
from the Pasona Group Inc. In my work, I try to be earnest and calm,and do my best to earn their trust.

Motivation through scholarships for international students

Going to the next dream of getting a job at a logistics company

After coming to Japan from Nepal, I became very interested in the Japaneseretail industry and logistics system. By transporting a large volume of goods
eﬃciently, prices are reduced. I thought this would be useful for the future
development of my home country and so decided to enter the Universityof Marketing and Distribution Sciences to learn more about the retailindustry and distribution system. At the university, I chose the Departmentof Marketing and Distribution Systems Course. I enjoyed studying because I
could learn about the "distribution system" and its technology, which waswhat I wanted to know the most, and every day it was fulﬁlling. When I
couldn't understand, I asked the teachers and they would teach me in akind and polite manner so that I could understand things well.
The University of Marketing and Distribution Science has a well-developed
scholarship system, and you can receive it for up to four years. I also
received it for four years and was able to live with less anxiety about money.

What impressed me outside of classes were the on-campus events
such as the school festival "Ryukasai" and the World Festival.
International students set up a simulated shop to sell foods of theirhome country and interact with visitors. A Nepalese chef that I knew
made some curry, and it was very popular and proﬁtable.I worked
part-time at a major discount store when I was a student. I experienced
ordering, sorting, and shelving, and as I watched how a large numberof products were being lined up eﬃciently in stores, I became
increasingly interested in Japan's logistics technology. Without
hesitation, that's when I set my goal to work in the “logistics business”. I
received a job oﬀer from Yamamura Logistics Co., Ltd., which is acompany with an advanced logistics system and can handle a large
number of products in a short period of time. It's like a dream to thinkthat I can work using the latest logistics system after I graduate.

We support each student to help them nurturethe seed of their dream and to blossom.

Support for employment ofinternat ional students is also substantial

I have improved communication skills through extracurricular activities.
I was able to experience product planning in class.

Establish and manage a food-related trading company.
I learned "business strategy" for this purpose.

Volunteering for extracurricular activities to interact with many people
I belonged to the welfare volunteer club, "Milk Tea", in the extracurricular
activities at the university. Many children from the neighborhood cometo the Halloween party on campus. We prepared games and invitedchildren to participate and gave them candy as presents. We also smiled
as much as the energetic children. We participated in the Kobe
Luminarie and asked for donations and managed traﬃc at the Rokko
City Marathon as volunteers for oﬀ-campus events. Volunteering at theevent allowed me to interact with many people, which helped me
improve my communication skills. I am very happy that I was able toexperience various volunteer activities.

I got a job at an international company that has a chance
for me to return to my hometown.
At the university, I chose the course to study "Business Strategy".

Employment Oﬀer:
Nitori (China) Investment Co., Ltd. (NITORI Group)
Especially interesting was the "Product Strategy Theory" class. It was apractical class where I learned about the ﬂow and methods of productplanning and also how to make my own product plans. Also, in "Special
Lecture on Corporate Theory", the top executives of Japanese companies
and government agencies came to the university and gave lectures inperson. It was a great learning experience for me to understand thecutting-edge eﬀorts of various industries and to consider my future. After
graduating, I have been oﬀered a job at Nitori (China) Investment Co., Ltd.,
which manages Nitori's domestic business in China. I'm from Tianjin and I
was told by the employment department that, "There is also a company inTianjin", and I'm very ambitious. It is undecided where I will work in China,
but I am very happy to have the opportunity to join an international
company and be able to have a chance to return to my hometown to workin the future. I may be involved in product development, and I am looking
forward to utilizing the various experiences I had at university for my work.

I reviewed my career and transferred to the University of Marketing and Distribution Sciences
My home country is Indonesia, but from about when I was 8 years old,
I went to a church that was run by a Japanese person, so I felt a senseof familiarity with Japan. Also, my mother also runs a coﬀee plantationand have the experience of being put in charge of accounting since
middle school. I went to Japan to study abroad for the ﬁrst time 10
years ago in order to learn the latest Japanese technology for the
future. At that time, I studied IT technology and returned to Japan,
later on, I set my goal to "establish and manage a food-related trading
company separate from my mother's farm." Therefore, I returned toJapan and enrolled in the University of Marketing and Distribution
Sciences, to learn about cutting-edge management strategies.

Learning knowledge and theory for strategic management
Currently, I am a college student however, I have also been

Employment Oﬀer: Jikei Gakuen Group Co., Ltd.
running a multilingual translation company in Indonesia for sevenyears. My company allows you to work in any place and any timeand I have 16 employees. While I'm in Japan, I left the work to mysubordinates. However, since I had never studied management
before, I was doing "try it ﬁrst" and "if it was wrong, think of it aslearning and try another method". At the University of Marketingand Distribution Sciences, I enrolled in the "Management
Strategy" seminar and was able to learn very meaningful theory
and acquire knowledge regarding management and logistics.
After graduating, I would like be employed at a company and thatwill make use of my experience at university.
I became friends with international students from various counties
at university. In the future, I am looking forward to seeing
networks connecting people while playing an active role invarious counties and ﬁelds.

Having a good environment, scholarship, and ﬁelds I wanted to study,
I studied abroad at the University of Marketing and Distribution Sciences for three reasons.

With the courteous support of the Employment Department and the seminars, I received a job oﬀer.
I would like to experience working in Japan and learn about human relations.

Japanese culture on the international bus tour held twice a year.

I Studied abroad because of being fascinated by the amazing Japanese manufacturing

Courteous Support of the Employment Department and Seminars

I had visited Japan numerous times because of my father's work and I was fascinatedby how amazing Japanese manufacturing was. For example, stationery andnotebooks displayed at shops. I was impressed by the details in the designs and themany diﬀerent types. I thought about studying aboard and studied Japanese
language at a vocational school in Osaka for a year and a half then enrolled in the
University of Marketing and Distribution Sciences. I chose the University of Marketingand Distribution Sciences because the atmosphere was pleasant and the learning
environment was good. One class that left an impression on me was the "Special
Lecture on Business Theory", where one business executive said, "Whenever you try
something, you may face diﬃculties but you won't know until you try. What is
important is that you try anyway." and I will use these words as my guide from thattime on. By living in the student dormitory with international students from various
countries and activities from joining the "Wadaikobu (Japanese Drum Club)" to know
Japanese culture, I was able to learn much and have fulﬁlling university life.

I wanted to learn about human relationships at Japanese workplaces regarding
employment so I wanted to work at a Japanese company. My parents also supported
me by telling me that "It's good to experience as much as you can while you're young."
The University of Marketing and Distribution Sciences has "job fairs" and "employment
seminars" for international students. A staﬀ member of the employment department
said to me, "Please feel free to come anytime and consult with us about anything,"
which was very reassuring. Additionally, I also received generous support in seminars,
such as practice with SPI questions to prepare for the written exam.
I applied to companies in various industries and fortunately, I received an oﬀer fromthe company that was my ﬁrst choice. I'm very happy that my desire to live in Kobemight also be fulﬁlled. Based on what I have learned at the University of Marketing andDistribution Sciences, I would like to continue acquiring various experiences from nowon.

I made friends through camping, bus tours, and group work
I was recommended by my Japanese language school teacher and learned
about the University of Marketing and Distribution Sciences in my homecountry. When I did some research, I thought that "this was it" for three reasons:"environment where the climate and living conditions were comfortable","substantial scholarships", and "ﬁelds I want to study were available". I loved
computers since I was a child and wanted to learn information technology. At
university, I took every class that had "Information" in its name and I was able tounderstand them well because the teacher was close by and carefully taught
international students. There was also a lot of group work in the seminar, andthe understanding between members deepened and gained experience inworking together to propose ideas. I think this is a university where it's easy tomake friends. Immediately after enrollment, there is a one-night, two-day campfor new students, and allows you to get to know each other across faculties
and departments. Also, I enjoyed interacting with others while experiencing

I made the eﬀort to try and understand the contents of the lessons on thesame day, so I was able to get good grades. As a result, I was able to receive
many scholarships, and from my third year, I was able to take on fewer
part-time jobs and create an environment where I could concentrate on mystudies. After graduating, the company that I received a job oﬀer was acompany striving to "make the world happier through IT technology." It is
motivating to be able to contribute to society through work. I was the onlyinternational student that was hired, and everyone else were science
students. I heard that the reason why I was hired was because I was able toget across the attitude and enthusiasm to take on the challenges that wereraised during the hiring activities. I might face diﬃculties in the future, but I
will work enthusiastically without giving up.

I really felt it was a "university open to the world" from the time it opened

Work that serves as a bridge between China and Japan

Fulﬁllment with studying, clubs, and part-time jobs

Seminar exchange gatherings even after graduation

I entered the University of Marketing and Distribution Science as
an international student in 1988 when it opened. It welcomedinternational students from the time it opened and I felt it was auniversity that was opened to the world. While I was a student, I
studied distribution and marketing, and when I saw Japanesesupermarkets and convenience stores, I imagined that China
would also develop in this way. All the classes were interesting,but the psychology classes that I was especially interested in,helped me to understand and approach customer psychology
from the sales position when I became a member of society.
The corporate theory class was also very interesting inunderstanding Japanese society and organizations.
At the University of Marketing andDistribution Science, there was an
atmosphere where you could enjoy
both studying and playing and feelthe warmth of human relationships. I
feel that while you are a student, youwill be able to discover your own
path while pursuing your favorite
things.

After graduating from university, I joined a major Japanese gamecompany after working as a research student at a national
university. After joining the company, I thought about how I
could produce results at the company. Using the marketingknowledge, I learned at university, I succeeded in selling anarcade game that was unknown in Asia as the result of trial anderror and I was able to achieve great results six months after
joining the company. After this, I had many careers, such asserving as a manager at several bases in Asia and also was placedin charge of the animation department in Tokyo. I wanted to "runmy own company one day", so in 2010 I started my own
business. I wanted to spread the game and anime culture ofJapan and Asia to each other, but when going acrossdiﬀerent countries, the business rules are diﬀerent andtransactions do not proceed smoothly. Focusing on thisissue, I set up a consulting company that coordinates
between two countries. I think that many international
students like Japanese games and anime and would like to
get a job related to games and anime in the future.
However, I tell them that there are other ways to get
involved besides the production work that I do.

My four years at the University of Marketing and Distribution
Science were balanced with studying, clubs, and part-timejobs, and every day was fulﬁlling. As for studying, I enteredthe "Distribution and Marketing" seminar and did researchand discussions according to the themes. I felt that I could
contribute to my country when thinking about distribution
and marketing so, in my graduation thesis, I investigated andsummarized the location of stores. For a club, I joined thedance club. I practiced really hard,
and about 10 people worked
together and performed in therecital. Additionally, through working
part-time at various restaurants, I wasable to learn how to serve customers
attentively and how to speak politely.
I originally studied abroad drawn by
the conscientiousness and seriousnessof the Japanese people, so throughvarious experiences, I think I havegotten closer to "wanting to be likethat".

After graduating, I joined AEON Delight Co., Ltd., which is a partof the AEON Group and I am engaged in the facility
management business. I worked on-site for a year and a half
after receiving complete training and acquired the necessary
knowledge and now I am working in sales. There is abundant fortraining to improve technical and human skills, and there are
mentors who will carefully teach you the work in the workplace,so you can work with peace of mind. I would like to return toVietnam in the future. Since there is also a subsidiary of AEON
Delight in Vietnam, I would like to contribute to thedevelopment of my country by providing a safe, secure andcomfortable space, and providing the technology and service
quality cultivated in Japan. There were training camps and New
Year's parties for the seminar that I belonged to and men andwomen alumni also came and we had friendly exchanges.
Currently, I am participating as a graduate, but I feel that thereason why the connection with the university continues is that
it is a "place to return to". Additionally, the university has an
International Student Support Department, which provides
various kinds of support including for everyday living. If you haveany problems, I think they will always be there for you.

I would like to be a bridge between Japan and China.
To fulﬁll my ambitions, I continue with exchanges in work and private.

I studied distribution and tourism

Japan is always close

Seeking learning that would be relevant to work

I am working hard to fulﬁll my dreams"I wanted to study cutting-edge distribution and take homethat knowledge to contribute to the development of mycountry” and so I came to Japan as a foreign student. My
cousin was also attending the University of Marketing andDistribution Science and I was convinced that if I wanted to"study distribution and marketing, the University ofMarketing and Distribution Science", was the place to learn.
After enrolling, I learned not only about distribution but alsomuch about Japanese culture and I became interested in
becoming a bridge between Japan and China, so I chose aseminar to study tourism. I clearly
remember doing ﬁeldwork at
Hikone Castle and its castle town
and got in touch with Japanese
history and culture. The seminar
instructors and my colleagues ofthe seminar also came to China tolearn about Chinese culture. WhenI was a student, I made manyfriends and was able to have a
fulﬁlling student life.

After graduating, I used the knowledge I learned in Japan toteach the younger generation in the world of logistics. Currently,
I work at a logistics company with a global network, and I am
working in management as a branch manager in Shanghai.
Exporting products made in China to Japan is the mainstay oflogistics at the Shanghai branch. Previous to the CORONA
disaster travel restrictions, I made business trips to Japan once amonth. I visited Tokyo, Kobe, Kyushu, Hokkaido, Tohoku, andother parts of the country depending on my work. Additionally,
there is a get-together of graduates of the University ofMarketing and Distribution Science called Yuhokai and so
our exchanges are uninterrupted. There are 5 overseas
branches (People's Republic of China Shanghai Branch,
Dalian Branch, Republic of Korea Branch, Taiwan Branch,
and Vietnam Branch), and I am the branch manager of the
Shanghai Branch. New members are increasing every year
and the exchange meetings we have once every six months
are exciting. Have a wonderful student life at the Universityof Marketing and Distribution Science, and after graduating,
let's expand our network and have exchanges together.

I wanted to enter a Japanese university and work at a Japanese company
from when I was attending a Japanese language school. It was because I
wanted to play a role in connecting my home country of Indonesia andJapan through my work. When I told my teacher at the Japanese language
school of my hopes, he introduced me to the University of Marketing andDistribution Sciences which has a high rate of employment andoutstanding support for international students. I discovered that there wasa senior from Indonesia as well as the opportunity to interact with people
from various other countries and so I made my decision to choose thisuniversity.
From that time, I had a vision of running my own company and so I chosethe accounting course in the Department of Business Administration. Thisis because I thought that the ability to read a company's administrative
situation would be a valuable tool in the future. The guidance in theseminars was tough but I was able to learn content that would beapplicable in society and it is proving useful in my current job.
Although I did not join any club activities, there were many opportunities
to interact with international students and I quickly made friends. Throughthe recommendation of the International Aﬀairs Division, I have fondmemories of opening an Indonesian food stall at the Ryuka Festival.

There are about 20 people who started at the same period as myself
at TOA, but in the company, I am the only foreign student and theonly Indonesian. For three years since my employment, I worked inaccounting. I analyzed business performance, presented ﬁnancial
indicators for formulating management strategies, and managed thecost ratio etc., of the factory, and proposed improvements. The data
produced by accounting is used to make decisions about company
management, so it is a job that makes me feel I have responsibility.
Two of our group companies are in Indonesia and currently,
Japanese people are in charge of management.
If I can be assigned to that
position in the future, I would liketo facilitate communications
between our two countries andfurther improve relationships. In
order to achieve this, I think now is
the time it is vital to gain
knowledge and experience.
