Time goes so quickly that this one-year master course of Water Related Risk Management will soon end in September. I can still remember the time when I arrived in Japan, the most developed country in Asia. Upon my arrival, I had a wonderful time and and I wanted to learn more about the advanced knowledge, and also I could build a better understanding of japanese people, culture and the society. One year is short and tough for me to learn so much knowledge from those advanced courses and I had to complete the master thesis in less than six months. However, within this year I could concentrated myself totally on the study since I had joined work, and it gave me a valuable experience and unforgettable memory. |

I found the curriculum of the training program is well prepared, the contents are well selected and instructors are high standard. Moreover, the theoretical lectures are supported by field excursion which gives us good opportunity to realize how the theoretical knowledge could be implemented in the real environment in the field. |
