Aiming to become an international expert on intellectual property rights, including assisting Japanese companies operating in China.

Problems can arise between information-oriented Chinese and Japanese companies

I read Japanese whilst at university in China. I wanted to learn more about Japan, so I studied abroad at the law department of a Japanese university. Through lectures and seminars, I became interested in intellectual property rights and security related laws, which led me to enter IISEC. I thought that there was a need for more experts to deal with intellectual property rights and other issues that arise between China, which is rapidly developing its information technology, and Japanese companies operating in China. So, after consulting with my university seminar professor, I enrolled in IISEC, which specialises in information security.

Since IISEC has many mature students, I can understand the current situation

There are many working professionals studying in IISEC, and it is advantageous to be able to ask them directly how to proceed with their work. You will also learn how security laws are actually considered in society and whether they are really effective or not. Even if a law is made, security will not be strong if it is not accompanied by the technology that supports it and the awareness of the people who operate it. IISEC is a graduate school where you can study both humanities and science subjects, so you can study security from a broad perspective.

I would like to study in a doctoral programme and become a university teacher

My strength is that I know both the current situation in China and the way of thinking of Japanese laws and companies. I would like to use this knowledge to carry out a comparative study of regional property rights in China and Japan, and to go on to a doctoral course. In the future, I would like to become a teacher at a Japanese university. I believe that the various experiences I have had at IISEC, such as academic disciplines beyond the humanities and sciences, interaction with mature students and professors with business experience, will help me to achieve my goals.
