\nLearn more about financial aid<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nDid you have any concerns before coming to Japan?<\/h3>\n
Actually, I had no worries. I am a scholarship student, so the foundation and other scholarship students from my country helped me a lot. In fact, regarding language, I have studied Japanese a little for a while with a native Japanese teacher. But as I regularly use English in Vietnam, English is familiar to me. At Waseda University, notifications, instructions and guidance are given in English; it is very helpful for me.<\/p>\n
Did you have any difficulties getting started here?<\/h3>\n
On the first day in my lab, my professor and every member helped me; setting up my computer and taking necessary procedures\u2026 They had done almost everything for me. They really helped me. I think Japanese professors and students are very kind to international students.<\/p>\n
How did you find out about Waseda University?<\/h3>\n
Firstly, I am from a AUN-SEED Net member university, and Waseda is also a member of the network.\u00a0I checked Waseda\u2019s website and found Professor Kenko Uchida<\/a>. My supervisor in Vietnam told me that Waseda is one of the best universities in Asia, and Waseda have already accepted a Vietnamese student (my friend) before me also.<\/p>\n
Why did you choose Waseda University?<\/h3>\n
I got several acceptances from other universities in Japan, but Waseda was better than the others and my Vietnamese friends have studied in Tokyo; I like Tokyo and wanted to study in Tokyo, too.<\/p>\n
How did you get information on your program?<\/h3>\n
Almost through the internet. The University’s website gave me much information.<\/p>\n
How is your life in Japan? What do you do in your free time?<\/h3>\n

<\/a>Everything is all right. I can focus on my research and studies thanks to the scholarship.<\/p>\nWell, on week days, I spend my time in the lab. On weekends, I often attend international and domestic conferences, almost once every three months. I submit papers and committee reviews and publish them if they are accepted. Attending conferences is amazing and interesting. At a conference, I can meet many people who study the same field or who can give me comments to improve my research.\u00a0 When I attend a conference, I can receive full-support such as financial and procedural support from the university and professors. I went to Turkey, Australia and two other cities in Japan for conferences. Though a little worrying and sometimes challenging, I think they are necessary to go on with the study or research.<\/p>\n
What are your supervisor and lab members like?<\/h3>\n

<\/a>Professor Uchida had accepted many international students before I came; He had had Vietnamese students before also. He is used to accepting international students like me. The relationship is good. I use English when communicating with Professor Uchida, and I can speak simple Japanese with labs members. In total, there are 21 graduate students in the lab, including 3 international students: two Chinese students and me.<\/p>\nDo you have any advice for international students?<\/h3>\n

Hello everybody, I am Nguyen Gia Minh Thao from Vietnam. I obtained a bachelors and master’s degree at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT), where then I have become a lecturer in the Faculty of Electrical-Electronics Engineering. I am currently a full-time PhD student at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan.\u00a0 First of all, I would like to share with you that: Waseda University provides a professional and friendly environment for studying in the international graduate programs. In detail, you can study\/research with well-organized lectures, updated reference documents, modern equipments, cutting-edge research themes and high-qualified professors. Besides, you will also receive many helpful assistance from staff members of the University\u2019s offices and Japanese students in your classes and laboratories. In fact, I am really impressed with the high enthusiasm of my professor and friends in the laboratory. Indeed, I would not have achieved pretty good results in my current research without the sincere support from them. Lastly, from all the fine impressions and feelings of mine as mentioned above, I think that Waseda University is one of the best institutions for those of you interested in international programs, especially the English-based doctoral program.<\/p>\n
