Zhao Shiyuan 2014 admission

My name is ZHAO Shiyuan from China. This is my senior year in Kyoto University’s International Course Program, and the program brought me great opportunities to learn about civil engineering with a global perspective during these three years. We learn knowledge from standards of one country to another as well as comparisons between them by professors and special lecturers. Besides, all students have an opportunity to participate in international internships aiming at gaining a better view of foreign companies’ technological and operational circumstance.

In addition to academic studies, it is extremely fascinating to have conversations with my classmates and faculty members and to learn from them. As for me, I learned to show appreciation and give compliments to others for their achievement and good deed directly, which is rare in Asian culture. ICP indeed provides me both sufficient knowledge and fruitful experiences in order to build my sense of value. And it is definitely an indispensable chance for all of us.
