Having completed my Master in Laws studies at the Catholic University of Louvain (Belgium) in 1998, I felt that I was not ready yet to enter the world of work and wanted to continue another academic venture. In my search for an appropriate LLM course, Kyushu University came to my attention, and more particularly the course structure and module content which seemed to be wide enough in scope to gain a good understanding of the many challenges and opportunities in an ever changing international economic environment.

My decision to join the LLM in International and Economic Business Law in International Economic and Business Law at the Faculty of Law of the Kyushu University, is one I will never regret and which has opened many doors. Thanks to the combination of the internationality of the program and the high diversification of the colleague students in the class, the LLM in International and Economic Business Law gives you an excellent training in facing the difficulties that come with many international legal and other management positions one might pursue. Following my stay at Kyushu I started working as associate lawyer with Linklaters LLP in the mergers and acquisitions department. After six years with Linklaters, I joined Euronav NV, a world leader in the transportation of crude oil, as General Counsel of the group.

I wish all present and future participants all the best and hope they will enjoy the year at Kyudai!

Before studying in Kyushu University, I was a law-school student at Peking University. I learned about the LLM program at Kyushu University by chance, but out of my deep curiosity about Japan, I applied for it and was luckily admitted to the program.

Since then, my wonderful journey in Japan began. The diverse & interesting courses taught by knowledgeable and insightful professors; the special lectures of distinguished scholars or governmental officials from the US, EU, or other Asian countries; the opportunities to organize and participate in global conferences; the chances to discuss, share different views, and make friends with classmates from all of the world; the occasions to learn the beautiful language & experience Japanese culture through interesting study trips; etc., all appealed to me a lot and made a difference in my life. All these made me decide to go beyond the one-year study in Kyushu University and pursue my LLD there. My four-year study in Kyushu University is the biggest treasure in my life. It has not only enriched my knowledge in law, but also broadened my view of the world. Diversity was the biggest lesson for me!

I am currently working at Mori Hamada & Matsumoto law firm, which is one of the biggest law firms in Japan, and my work mainly focuses on foreign investments in China, M&A and other international matters. Interestingly, in a big M&A transaction, I happily worked with one of my Singaporean classmates, who also graduated from Kyushu University. The world may be big, but it also seemed so small! I miss and will always remember my professors, classmates and happy study times in Kyushu University!

九州大学法学院の BiP プログラムのお陰で、英語と日本語の双方を通して、国際法を学べるすばらしい機会を得ました。L.L.M コースの授業は、さまざまな法律のトピックが含まれています。BiP プログラムの学生たちは L.L.M コースの授業から選べるだけではなく、日本語で行われる法学部と法学府の授業からも選べます。私は、法学部と法学府の授業によって、日本の法律の理解を深めることができ、さらに、日本語能力も高めることもできました。また BiP プログラムは、課程外の活動も豊かです。たとえば、日本の国際法律事務所あるいは、政府機関にインターンシップをするチャンスも提供されています。要するに、BiP プログラムは、国際法と日本文化、社会に関して、興味を持っている人にはとても良いプログラムです。
