I wanted to study in Japan because it is the most technologically advanced country to study in, and I was fascinatedby the culture. The respect that Japanese people show is exemplary. I feel lucky to study at Shizuoka University
because Shizuoka is a great place to be for software engineers and tech start-ups. A lot of top international companies
are headquartered here, and there are a lot of career options as a result. Most importantly, ABP is developed toprovide highly skilled professionals for top Japanese companies. The campus and the surrounding atmosphere isinviting and so are our living arrangements. The standard of living is very high here, and the quality of food is great.

Admitted 2016, Faculty of Engineering, Dept. of Mathematical and Systems Engineering- Bukit Sion High School graduate, West Jakarta, Indonesia

I wanted to continue my studies in Japan and I was really enthusiastic because ABP Program offered me thepossibility of a full scholarship to do that. I applied online and passed through to the last step where I was interviewed
by Shizuoka University’s professors. Praise God I got accepted in the faculty that I wanted. At ﬁrst it was not easy
to study completely in Japanese but with the support and encouragement given by the teachers and family, I wasmotivated to always try and obtain good results. As an added bonus, Shizuoka is known for its industrial area and ishome to factories like Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda, etc which could be potential workplaces after I graduate.
