The BA programme at Swansea University gave me a strong foundation linguistically, academically and experience-wise. My exchange visit to the University of Bamberg and an internship at the Robert Bosch GmbH in Stuttgart (Germany) helped me to develop key skills and made me an attractive candidate for future positions. I am now a PhD doctoral researcher focusing on immigration policy. I have worked for some of the key actors in international migration and have recently been granted the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science Scholarship to conduct a Visiting Research Fellowship at the Centre for Far Eastern Studies, University of Toyama.
