The Summer School Program is an eye‐opening experience
for me, this program allows me to make new friends fromdifferent countries, while also study under the professors
during the internship period. This is one of the best
academic events that I ever participated in my life. The
three weeks internship period is the time of learning withthe professors of my choosing in the field of study that I
am interested in. And the result of the internship is fruitful,
I have gained more new knowledge and learned about thetopic and field that I am interest in, and this helped me indetermining the path of my future.

International Environmental Expert Seminar (IEES) provides multidisciplinary lectures with topics ranging from Japaneseenvironmental management policies to the science and technology for the environmental issues. Problem‐Based Learning(PBL) includes group discussions, local field trips, and group presentations on environmental problems of students’ homecountries. Students will receive 2 credits on the completion on the IEES and PBL.

Laboratory internship opportunities are hosted by our faculty members with expertise ranging from social science to naturalscience. Laboratory work includes analytical/green chemistry, toxicology, solid waste management, physiology, bioengineering,geology, phycology, conservation ecology, environmental law, economics, sociology, international relations, management andplanning. Please visit our website (http://www.env.nagasaki‐u.ac.jp/english/members.html) for available options.

Megane‐bashi (Spectacles Bridge)

It was a worthwhile experience working with students
from Japan, Thailand, and Indonesia, and learning andexperiencing the cultural differences and work styles etc.
Interesting lectures, lab work and PBL topics to learn fromin all aspects of environmental science and the different
attitudes and problems faced by people from around theworld. I thought some of the follow up in person lectures
could have been more teaching focused, but the initial
online lectures were all very interesting and to learn froma different perspective than I have been exposed to before.
Overall, I really enjoyed the experience, and thought
everyone involved were very friendly and created a niceenvironment. I feel like I have learnt a lot from it.
