Destination: Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (DSS/ICT)
Study Period: February 2022 – January 2023
Affiliation/Grade at the start of studying abroad: Graduate School of Design, Department of Design Strategy, Master Year 2

I chose the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences because I was interested in how digital technology can be applied to society internationally.

In the Digital Society School (DSS), I like the open atmosphere on the campus, the discussion with intelligence team members from all over the world, and gaining practical experience in design sprints.

At Information Technology and Computer Science (ICT), the main focus is on team projects. You can independently decide what to do in a project with your teammates and implement the solutions.　

Before studying abroad, you should practice your listening skill in English. You should try to lead and facilitate your team. Also, as a Geiko student, it would be great if you could demonstrate your strengths, such as design, engineering, and conceptual planning skills, within your team.
