Department of Life and Materials Engineering

In my idea, chemistry is the most influential for human beings because chemistry innovations have contributed to our daily life. For example, the use of fertilizer is great innovation, which has prevented us from facing food shortages. And as a result, our life is well-off.And advanced chemical technologies will contribute to our society.

My strong interest motivated me to study in the Department of Life and Materials. The Department deals with materials from viewpoints of chemistry and biochemistry. Also, I have gained knowledge and skills to formulate new substance.

I live a full college life, by studying, participating in badminton club, and getting a part-time job. The college life is the first step to become a person equipped with a well-developed awareness of today’s global community.
I recommend younger students to enjoy challenges and absorb valuable idea, and so on.

Department of Environmental and Materials Engineering

My strong interest lies in new material in Japan and I have been enrolled in the Department of Environmental and Material Engineering. My career goal is to become an engineer who will discover environmentally-friendly materials.

The language used in classed is Japanese. The language barrier sometimes enables me to understand lectures. If so, faculty members kindly give me a helping hand. Additionally, a helping hand by many friends in the same or different departments, reaches out when I face problems on study as well as the college life.

I’d like to say to privately-founded international students. You don’t have to worry about financial issues because many part-time job opportunities in Nagoya and scholarship options are available. Also, various student clubs are open to you. Your joyful college life here would be promised.

Department of Mechanical Engineering

I major in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. In the first year, the general education courses are taken. In the second year, students are requested to choose one of three programs. I have been drawn to airspace area, which motivated me to study energy program.

NIT students are very quite in classes, which enables me to concentrate in college lectures. In addition, senior students kindly give me job tips, test-taking tips and so on. Privately-founded international students are likely to face financial worries, which force them to get a part-time job. However, tuition exemption program, and scholarship opportunities are available.
These attractive programs would enable you to allocate more time for your study, by reducing working hours.

Activity at student clubs would get you a valuable social education.

Electrical and Electronic Engineering

I major in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering which deals with three domain fields: electricity, electron and communication electronics. In the first year a strong foundation in mathematics and physics is provided. Students in their second year, not their third year, start to specialize in their respective program, by selecting one of the three programs, which encouraged me to grow. This is a very attractive system.

The total number of international students at NIT rises to more than 400 and I am one of them. Japanese tutorial services to help international students are available. Also, faculty members’ kind helping hand reaches out when these students face problems on academic as well as the college life. Additionally, participating on student club activities, along with getting a part-time job contributes to a joyful college life experience. Parties and educational field trips are regularly offered; Japanese students too join these activities. Through these activities, new friends are found. Please pay close attentions to the bulletin board to gather fun information.

Computer Science

I have been interested in using software, which motivated me to get into communication engineering courses. Japanese technologies have been highly evaluated and I have been drawn to the Japanese cultures. These factors encourage me to challenge the Japanese Government Scholarship Program. I surprisingly won that.

For the first year after my arrival in Japan I learned Japanese and still wondered if I could truly attend a Japanese college. My fears vanished. I became a NIT student according to the Japanese government direction. My college life started in here. Some worried nagged me when considering the language barrier and a new town. However, thanks to staff at International Center and female classmates I began to make adjustment to a new environment. Besides, I can almost catch up to lectures by Japanese. Faculty members kindly explained what I missed. Now. I belong to the Japanese archery club and I got many friends, as a result, my language skills have been improving. Not to mention, my understanding of Japanese cultures is expanded.

Compared with other universities, NIT is a smaller university, which does create many advantages. For example, high-level of coherence among students, faculty members and staff is featured. Now, I am so happy about the Japanese government arrangement to select NIT as my university to study.

Architecture and Design

When considering the elaborate beauty of architecture, a unique quality of the cultures related to its history is found. The architecture sometimes refers to the activities of designing, but a wide range of fields are covered, including materials, structure, environment, and building equipment. After graduation various job opportunities will wait for me. From the design perspective I transform my ideas into building. This case applies to design program too. Guest speakers in the architecture fields are invited to our classes, which greatly benefits us.

There is International Center and there Japanese language courses and supports for a better college life are available, through which international students can make adjustments to a new college life. In addition, many activities are scheduled to expose these students to Japanese cultures and traditions.

Civil Engineering and systems Management

Hello I am UNG SHIHA from Cambodia. After graduation from the Nagano College of Technology, I transferred to the third year of NIT because of transfer credits recognized by NIT. I majored in the Department of Civil Engineering and Systems Management. In the third and the forth years I studied structural mechanics, geotechnical engineering, hydraulics, urban planning, concrete engineering, and so on. In the forth year a research project started. I am the only international students.

I have to write my research paper in Japanese. Whenever I face study problems as well as problems related to college life, faculty members and staff at the International Center kindly help me out.

Besides the study, participating in student club activities is a joyful experience. Please study hard and at the same time take care of your health.
