Hi, I'm a prospective undergraduate international applicant to Osaka University HUS (Human Science) International Program. I've tried to search anything about Osaka University in the web (reddit, youtube, asking relatives, etc) but I've barely found anything that answers my question. I hope some of the redditors here could help me regarding so 🙂
For background, I got a scholarship from my own country's government so I have to go back to my country after graduating. But, there are some contracts I need to fulfill while studying abroad such as maintaining a good GPA and whatnot. I am also wondering about opportunities (research, competitions, volunteer, internship, ANYTHING) that can help me to boost my path to apply other postgraduate scholarships after graduating.
So, to sum it up, here's my questions in bullet points:
– Is it hard to maintain a good GPA here (3.0 GPA or higher?) 🙁 I have no idea whether the coursework would be heavy or not, since I barely could find any info
– How are the opportunities (again: research, competitions, volunteer, internship, ANYTHING) that I can get while studying there and after graduating?
– Do you think being an Osaka Uni graduate will be a good thing in CV to apply to international companies? Especially Japanese companies outside Japan
– Is it gonna be heavy to mingle to other students (international wise or local)? Like, is it gonna be a very competitive environment, or a rather friendly one?
– How is the lecturer-student interaction? Is it gonna be a struggle of prominent culture barriers to connect with them more closely?
Thank you in advance; any help, inputs, WHATEVER you got regarding this uni (even tho it's unrelated to my questions) will be a help! 🙂
