Student 's Message

\Voice 01/
Faculty of Sociology Department of Sociology Media Department
VALENTINO SYLVANIA
Country / Region: Indonesia

My dream is to set up my own architectural office and design a building that will live with nature and culture in Asia. Therefore, I majored in architecture from the time I was an undergraduate student. What I was most interested in during my undergraduate years was a class called "architectural design and drafting", and I felt a great sense of accomplishment in realizing my ideas through models, CG, and drawings. Since I became a graduate student, I have been spending more fulfilling days with projects and design competitions involving the "Urban Design Laboratory" I belong to.
The attraction of Kansai University is "people". Students from many countries around the world are studying here. By joining the international student community on a daily basis, you will be able to interact with students from different countries, build friendly relationships, and deepen your understanding of each other's culture.
International students wishing to study at Kansai University, do not forget their original intentions and enjoy a pleasant university life.

Kansai University's great appeal is its wide campus, which is equipped with state-of-the-art IT equipment and has an excellent educational and research environment, location conditions, and learning environment.
The Graduate School of East Asian Culture, to which I belong, has set up three research areas, such as "Language and Representation," "Thought and Structure," and "History and Dynamics," at overseas universities such as Italy, Czech Republic, China, and South Korea. There are many opportunities to present research results, which is a very good place to broaden your insights.
For extracurricular activities, I participate in the Association for Promotion of Corporate Cooperation for International Student Support. I experienced events such as Japanese dance, Bando style, disaster prevention experience at the headquarters disaster prevention hall, and a tour of the outer drainage channel of the metropolitan area.
From the second year of the master's course, I have been receiving scholarships from the Yasuda Scholarship Foundation.
We also received a study incentive from the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) and a Kansai University Global Scholarship.
International students aiming for Kansai University, let's enjoy our research life here and make our dreams come true.
