China

Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Medicine and Engineering,
Masters Program in International Software Engineering,

Hi! My name is Genzhao Zheng. I am from China and I am doing a master degree majoring in Computer Science at the University of Yamanashi.

After graduating from Zhejiang University (Tourism Management Major) in 2008, I came to Japan as a graduate student of the Masters Program in International Software Engineering. The program aims to train software engineers who can take the leadership in software development across China and Japan. During the first semester, I concentrated on studying Japanese. My Japanese improved quickly by communicating with Japanese students and with the help of my tutor. Here, every foreign student has a personal tutor who can help them melt to local life and with their Japanese study. Furthermore, the University of Yamanashi offers internal and external programs with a wide range of flexible learning options. Now I am doing a one-year internship at a Japanese IT company, where I started in August 2009 to learn practical knowledge on Webpage design and software development. Also I am encouraged to communicate with Japanese students and other international students to get more information about the life in Japan and write it down in Chinese on the webpage I designed to make a communication bridge between China and Japan by the Internet.

Professor Hisakazu Shindo, my supervisor, is one of the best people I’ve met. He takes good care of foreign students and Mr. Takayama, my internship supervisor, gives me a lot of help not only on my professional study but also on my life in Japan.

I came to Japan because I wanted to experience different fields of studies beside Tourism Management. The flexible curriculum offered allows me to take classes in a variety of different areas, from French to Japanese Culture, and then be able to integrate the ones that I’m most interested in. The University of Yamanashi is a good choice if you wish to meet nice professors and lovely local people.
