Korea

Faculty of Engineering
Department of Biotechnology

I am attending school at the biotechnology faculty, and am a South Korean international student.

Since the biotechnology department, compared with other departments of technology, has a few people, it allows us to get to know each other better. As a class, we go to KARAOKE and bowling. And I have never felt the sense of alienation even though I am an international student. Everyone gets along well.

Then I can easily introduce what I have learnt up to now. As a freshman, I studied the basics of engineering as an extension of the study of high school like physicochemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, differentiation integration study, and pedestal physics. Real expertise like biochemistry, genetic engineering, microbiology, and food engineering, etc. was studied from my sophomore year. Besides, experiments, chemical experiments and a variety of biotechnology experiments. And, we have built rapport with the teachers and senior students through experiments for students.

Moreover, there are big events for the biotechnology department. We have a stall and a wine-tasting party, etc. at the campus festival. In the stall, we cooperated with everyone, making bread and pork miso soup by hand and selling it. I was the person in charge of making the pamphlet for the biotechnology department. It was very enjoyable at getting the chance to help with the preparations for the campus festival even though it was very serious business. There are quite a lot of good things about the biotechnology department along with these.

I thought that having entered the biotechnology department of Yamanashi University, I was very lucky, and I think that it was a very good choice. I will recommend the Yamanashi University biotechnology department by all means if there is an international student who wants to study biotechnology. Moreover, I want you to think that it was as good of a choice as I felt it.
