International Club, an Active International Student Circle at FUT
The International club was established with the purpose of promoting a place where international students can easily gather together to exchange across nationalities. International students from various countries and regions regularly gather to work on the planning or management of various events.
At the welcome party for new international students in April, members from the club played a central role in everything from preparations to the day managements. International students gathered to celebrate the admission of new students to FUT. In November, the club participated in a festival held in the area. Club members held an event to introduce their native languages to local residents and opened food stalls to introduce the food culture of their home countries.
FUT also has many other events such as Christmas party and the ski and snowboard experience, and this club is actively involved in management of these events. Through these activities, the club is deepening the bonds between international students while also focusing on interaction with Japanese students.

In order to improve the water quality of polluted rivers in my home country, I am conducting research to enhance the sensitivity of ICP-OES instruments that analyze water quality using plasma. This instrument has difficulty measuring substances in water when they are present in low concentrations, but I have found that its sensitivity improves when a thin metal plate is placed between the coil and discharge tube that generates plasma.
I came to Fukui more than five years ago. I am able to lead a tranquil life because of the quiet and safe environment here. The people of Fukui are very kind. When I have a question at the convenience store where I work part-time, I can ask other staff without hesitation, and they are very helpful. I would like to continue living here, and so I am now looking for a job in Fukui.
