What motivated you to participate in an Overseas Experience?
My initial motivation was languages. At school, I studied German, and after school I started learning Japanese. I wanted to go on Exchange to a country that didn鈥檛 speak English; that was my initial motivation. Specifically, Germany or Japan, of course.
Which Study Period did you go overseas in?
I went overseas on Exchange in Semester 2 of 2023. While languages intrigued me to study in Japan, I actually study Mechanical Engineering and Physics.
