夢の実現に役立った国際観光学部での学び（ウィリアム）

How ITM helps me pursue my dream

My name is William, and I am a study abroad student from Myanmar. I came to Japan in 2017 after graduation of my high school. I wanted to work in Tourism industry and that led me to study in Japan. I joined Japanese language school for 2 years and then I choose Toyo University to study tourism. I chose Toyo because it is one of the global universities in Tokyo and it is very international student-friendly. I chose Toyo’s International Tourism Management (ITM) mainly because of the classes that I think is useful for my future career.
I want to do hotel management so that I took classes such as Hotels and Resorts management, Theory of Accommodation Industry, and Executive Management. These classes helped me understand about the basics of hotel industry the current situations and the problems, the future of hotel industry, and how it is playing important role in tourism industry.
In ITM, I have also learned about tourism and intercultural issues through my zemi classes as we discussed about different topics every week. I also joined tutor program of ITM in which Japanese and international students are in pair and do some culture and language exchange in university as well as in private time.
ITM supports us with job hunting by explaining time frame, by sharing useful information and helping us with consultations. I applied only for hotel industry, and I got four offers, and I eventually chose one of the most famous Japanese hotel development groups that fit me the best. I believe my experiences at Toyo will help me when I work in hotel industry where the guests are from different parts of the world of different cultures.
Faculty of ITM, at Toyo University is the place for study abroad students who want to study Tourism as there are so many useful classes and field works opportunities.
