Job hunting for the students in my year starts from this year and I am so
excited. I have already been participating in different career development
workshops offered by Nagoya University where I am having the chance
to meet the representatives of prestigious companies. Although the
preparations for future employment and graduation seem so exciting, it is
also very sad to think about leaving the University.

of the G30 program may apply for admission to any of the several postgraduate
programs taught in English or in Japanese in the Graduate School of Law.
