Kang Wen Yu

The DIME course has provided me with a rich learning experience, through the variety of modules offered, and opportunities to learn outside of the classroom. Most significantly, the overseas education trip to Japan in March 2024 allowed me to experience a different culture and embrace new perspectives. It also helped me form valuable connections with students from other courses in SEG and with Japanese students from Nara and Kochi KOSEN.
