Student message
The main reasons of selecting Toyohashi University of Technology as my study
abroad destination are TUT has a good support system for foreign students andhas high employment rate of graduated student. When I entered to TUT, I wasinterested in the subject field of control and robotics. Therefore, I have decided
to join the control and system engineering laboratory to further study the subject.
Recently, I am working on computer vision for excavator planning and possibilityof using multiple cameras on it with very supporting supervisor and many friendly
laboratory members. When I first came, I really had no idea how to handle many
situations in Japan. However, TUT provided me “supporter” (peer support activities)
and the International Affairs Division would always help me if I had questions
and problems. Also, my supervisor and lab members are extremely supportive in
aspects of studying. In the future, I am hoping to get more professional in my fieldof subject and contributing to the world with my engineering knowledge even for abit. TUT will warmly welcome you here and most likely to provide the opportunity to
become more independent and more self-disciplined. I recommend all the foreign
students to take a risk and give chance for new experiences by studying abroad,
specially to Toyohashi University of Technology.

Student message
The possibility of studying in English and Japanese at thesame time is the reason of selecting Toyohashi University ofTechnology. I am a Bachelor student and have been focusing
mainly in high-level programming. My current interests ishuman interfaces, mainly in virtual reality, augmented reality
and mixed reality, so in the future, I would like to belong with alaboratory which met my interest. I do feel I have grown a lot,language is always be a big obstacle in everything, but theextracurricular activities, group activities and the dormitory
routine in TUT help me a lot to get used to live in Japan. TUT
is a place where you are going to find people from all over theworld, with similar passions and goals. Studying here allowed
me to have a different perspective of the world and how tobuild the future. I am aiming to work in the game industry
using knowledge from visual arts with the human interfaces
approach that I am currently studying in computer science inTUT. I am sure it will be a great experience for you as well.

Student message
TUT boasts a huge percentage of foreign students, and many subjects arebilingual-friendly, meaning that I can use English for assignments, presentations,and even thesis, which prepared me for research paper writing. Also, thenewly renovated campus’s facility such as the library and restrooms were hugepoints for me to continue my study in TUT. I am currently doing research on
lipid bilayer. I use supported lipid bilayer and graphene oxide to develop a new
method to determine the position of lipid molecules in z-direction inside thelipid bilayer, which enables us to study the transverse diffusion of lipid bilayer
more easily. I have never regretted choosing TUT to further my studies, as it is aplace that provides necessary tools for those who push themselves to the limit,
while at times you find yourself being able to walk at your own pace. Lecturers
here give adequate attention to each student who wants to learn, and theuniversity life here is quite free, such as flexible research schedule for graduate
students. I hope I can be involved in some impactful research and contribute to
the scientific society. To achieve that, I plan to expose myself to cutting-edge
research by joining established companies and gain as much knowledge as
much as I can, especially in the field of biotechnology.

JOCELYN LAU MIN YUAN from Malaysia
Master's Program

Student message
I chose TUT for my study because of two reasons. First, TUT is anadvantageous environment for me to master my specialized knowledge
because many professors are specialists in the fields of civil engineering.
Second, TUT is also a globalized technical university with many overseas
students, enhancing international cooperation and research. After finishing my
Master’s program in TUT, I decided to continue my Ph.D. program here withstudying the strengthening applications of composite materials for structuresin civil engineering. Through my university life, I have been learned how to
overcome the difficulties in the research and feeling more confident to obtainbetter results. There are lots of students from various countries, and we
can exchange cultural values together from daily life, especially during TUT
International Exchange Day. Moreover, the facility staffs and International Affairs
Division are conscientious to take care of students with any problems in study
and daily life issues. I think TUT is a great environment for new students toenhance their knowledge and develop their research. With the enthusiastic helpof our professors and staff, I believe you can adapt quickly and get successful
in your studies and researches if you have clear determinations to pursue.

Student messa

I am currently a third-year student in the Mechanical Engineering Department and learning aboutmachines and its underlying principle behind it. Toyohashi University of Technology is famed forits diversity, so I have the chance to interact with not only the local Japanese students but also
people from many different countries. I feel that this diverse environment is what makes TUT
special compared to other universities. TUT also has lots of support, advisors and program caterfor students planning to study abroad.
New students would feel overwhelmed by the amount of assignments. Hence, making a schedule
is a step forward in managing our time. My schedule on a typical weekday is cycling to TUT in
the morning, taking classes till the evening and studying in the library if there are no lectures.
Around 7pm, I will be back home and usually finish up my assignments after having dinner. I feelthat motivation plays a huge role in following my schedule, so making friends and having fun areimportant to keep my motivation up as well. I would unwind and hang out with my friends after arough day.
I always have a desire to contribute to the society either through technology or volunteering, so
I joined Toyohashi City International Residents Council, where we discuss the ways to improve
the lives of residents regardless of nationalities and the relationship between Japanese andInternational residents.
I am currently planning to major in locomotion/transport technologies and manufacturing to starta venture where its technologies unite people of different background by shortening the distanceand cost of travel between communities in this era of divisiveness.

Toyohashi Cit y

is located in the southeastern corner of Aichi Prefecture, and is both the cultural and industrial
center of the East Mikawa area.
Aichi is centrally located on the main Japanese island of Honshu, and is a setting where many feudal warlords have played
major roles throughout history. In modern times, many companies have their headquarters in Aichi, including Toyota Motor
Corporation, Nippon Sharyo (railway rolling stock manufacturer) and Noritake (tableware manufacturer).
As one of Japan’s ‘core cities’, Toyohashi has everything you’d expect to find in a major city, but it maintains the friendlinessand love of Japanese tradition that bigger cities often forget.
Toyohashi has a mild climate, a low cost of living and is within easy reach of Nagoya, Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe by
Shinkansen bullet train.
Toyohashi also has a wonderful natural environment, surrounded by sea and mountains. This natural bounty means that there
are many interesting places to visit.
