__ Student Achievement's
Completing my advanced diploma in Information Technology and Japanese language at LNBTI has been a great fortune. It enabled me to attend a prestigious university in Japan. I have now started my career as a system engineer in the IT field, and I am extremely thankful to LNBTI for the knowledge and guidance that contributed to my success.
I started my educational journey at LNBTI in 2019, completing my advanced diploma in 2022. Later, I joined the ICT Global Program at Aizu University as a third-year student. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering with a focus on Biomedical Information Engineering, set to complete in March 2024. I have also received the Monbukagakusho, JASSO, and MEXT scholarships, and I am now pursuing a Master’s degree at Aizu University.
LNBTI is the best path for students to achieve their dreams. The support of the lecturers, particularly from Madulle, made it much easier for me to reach my goals. I greatly enjoyed learning Japanese from native-speaking instructors at LNBTI, and the knowledge I gained in information technology has helped me enhance my technical skills. The excellent relationship between the lecturers and the students, along with the e-learning system at LNBTI, was instrumental in my success. I look forward to completing my postgraduate studies at the University of Aizu.
After completing my degree at LNBTI, I joined Future University of Hakodate in Japan to pursue my studies in the field of intelligence systems. The technical skills I acquired in software engineering and Japanese language proficiency at LNBTI were immensely helpful in continuing my education at Future University of Hakodate. The group projects and extracurricular activities I participated in at LNBTI helped me participate in events like Robocon and the Soccer Robot Tournament in Japan. All the experiences and knowledge I gained at LNBTI have been valuable in completing advanced projects in Japan.
