Department of Beauty and Fashion Studies

I attended this university’s open campus while I was going to Japanese language school, and I was deeply attracted by the warm and friendly atmosphere of the teachers and senior students, which cemented my decision to apply. Since entering the school, I’ve found that there are many practical classes, and as I learn in cooperation with my peers, I realize not only the importance of knowledge, but also the importance of relationships with others. The peaceful campus surrounded by nature is an ideal environment in which to concentrate on learning. In the future, I aim to be involved in creative work such as planning and directing fashion shows, and I want to continue building on all the things I’m learning now.

Department of Psychology

I was attracted by the university’s warm atmosphere and the closeness between teachers and students, and immediately after attending the open campus I decided to take the entrance exam. While there are many things I still don’t understand as a first year, I feel at ease thanks to the Shoin International Learning Center (SILC) and my teachers in the Psychology Department, who are very kind and supportive and offer me advice. It’s a very comfortable environment and I feel confident that I can do my best in my studies at Osaka Shoin Women’s University. In the future, I want to be someone who can listen to and support students like the staff at SILC do. I also want to pursue a career in psychology to understand myself better, and lead a wonderful life that’s uniquely my own.

Department of English as an Interational Language

I first heard about the university when I attended an open campus seminar. I went to the open campus and the teachers and seniors explained to me about the school, and I found the major I wanted to study here. At first I was nervous, but I attended the next open campus and decided to apply. I truly have no regrets choosing this school. Although I was a little worried at first because I didn’t have any Japanese friends, everyone is nice and friendly, and the teachers are very kind. I am going to enjoy doing my best for the next four years.

Department of English as an Interational Language

In the future, I want to work as a link between Japan and my home country, so I decided to go to Osaka Shoin Women’s University. I’ve always loved English, so I chose the Department of English as an International Language. When I attended the open campus before the entrance exam, the university teachers were very kind and friendly, and I felt that this university would be a safe environment to study in. I’m currently learning about the Japanese language and different cultures, and really enjoying my classes every day. My classmates are also friendly and I’ve had many great experiences. The university has beautiful classrooms, lots of facilities, and the quality of teaching is very good, so I’m very satisfied. In the future I hope to work in an international field and engage with people from many different countries.

Department of English as an Interational Language

I have wanted to teach English in Japan since I was a first-year high school student, so I decided to enroll at Osaka Shoin Women’s University, where I can get a teaching license. At first, my mother in Indonesia was against it, but by working hard to get my N3 and showing her how much I wanted to learn, she began to support me. In Japan, I’m working part-time at a fast-food restaurant and trying many different things. On campus, there are Indonesian seniors, facilities to watch DVDs, and volunteer activities you can do, so it’s very fulfilling!

Department of Psychology

Encouraged by my teacher at the Japanese language school (OBKG) I was attending, I went on a tour of the university with my family.I have an interest in psychology, and I was attracted to the friendly atmosphere of Osaka Shoin Women’s University, so I decided to enroll. As an international student I had some apprehensions, but the teachers and classmates were very kind and I soon felt at ease. I enjoy my classes because I can learn about psychology from familiar themes, and my horizons are steadily expanding. In the future, I want to take up a job where I can support people’s hearts.

Working for Japan Childcare Services(2024 Graduate of Department of Health and Nutrition)

Department of Health and Nutrition, Food and Nutrition Major

During my university years, I took daily classes and assignments seriously to avoid having to repeat a year, and also focused on obtaining qualifications such as food specialist. What I particularly enjoyed was the practical experience I gained in research classes, off-campus training, and internships. Currently, as a nutritionist I’m in charge of food preparation, inspection, preprocessing, checking deadlines and serving allergy-free meals. With so many students in the nursery school, making lunch is a challenge, but dinner is especially difficult as one person has to cook for 10 to 15 children. On the other hand, the time I spend talking to the children and working with the senior staff is fun and rewarding. From now on, I want to gain more knowledge and experience and work hard to become a trusted nutritionist.
