CHINA

It has been six years since firstly I came here toJapan. I majored in packaging engineering in myUniversity in China and had a strong will to study
abroad in the near future. Then, I heard that Kobe University is the only
university to have a “Transport Packaging Laboratory” in Japan and I finallydecided to study abroad without any hesitation.
My life was greatly influenced by many experiences at Kobe University.
Once-a-month seminars at the lab provided me not only useful feedback
and advice on my research, but also the opportunities to exchange ideas
with people from business circles. That was helping me to decide which
career direction I should take. As for my study, thanks to my professor’s
guidance, I was able to join domestic and international conferences to givepresentations of my research findings. The knowledge which I obtained
during the graduate study is greatly helpful for my current job.
Now, I work in a global medical device company that has been achievinga large global market share of gastrointestinal endoscopy. I am designing
packages of the products related to healthcare segment to protect themfrom the damage during transport, and I am very proud of my job. I am glad
my decision to study in Kobe University was the right one. I believe you will
also benefit a lot from Kobe University.
