Thank you for piloting me through the ‘Research world’. I have learnt varieties of directions, angles and views of research. I am starting on a vogage, so thanks again for providing me with the tools to travel the research world!

All the lecturers who have come to Japan from the University of Chichester have been extremely professional and kind. We have learnt a lot from them, and been given all the support we need outside of the taught modules.

I have enjoyed all the lectures, and feel this is a hugely worthwhile course.
The lecturers are friendly and helpful.
