“I am currently in my second year of PhD studies with the Department of Japanese Studies. The program strongly encourages multidisciplinary discussions and exchanges and trains students to conduct rigorous and relevant researches. Since joining NUS in 2014, I have grown so much as an academic, thanks to the support of my professors and peers. There are always opportunities provided by FASS and the Department of Japanese Studies to learn more about my field and build networks with like-minded scholars through study trips and international conferences, and to develop my personal attributes and professional skills through seminars and workshops. I am very honoured to receive the teaching award and this will give me an extra boost of motivation to further improve my teaching.”
