My research work focuses on under-standing disaster related information seeking behavior using oral docu-ments.Studying in University of Tsukuba is the perfect environment for me to learn and conduct my research. I feel completely supported here ‒ person-ally, professionally, and nancially. One of the best things about is that you have the freedom and exibility to pursue interests outside your area of specialization. In fact, you’re encour-aged to do so. Every program here at Tsukuba is at the forefront of its eld. I didn’t know of any other school in Japan that has as many faculty as Tsukuba does in the eld of Library, Information and Media Studies. There are experts in so many areas outside the School of Informa-tion to call upon when conducting research, whatever your eld of interest. The people at Tsukuba are very open-minded. The faculty know you and care about your success. Your fellow students are also helpful and cooperative.The LIS English Program has been a great choice to study higher educa-tion in the LIS eld for many reasons. Faculty is an important factor when deciding where to pursue higher education, and I believe that the faculty members of the University of Tsukuba’s LIS School is one of the strongest traits that the program has to oer. The variety of research interests and academic specializations of the faculty translates into diverse education options for the students. Students have the opportunity to study a range of LIS-related subjects, ranging from those that deal with more conceptual and behavioral studies that can be applied to a variety of areas within Information Science, to subjects with a more traditional, library focus. The type of instruction within courses varies as well, with some focusing on the understanding and development of theories and concepts, to those aimed at the teach-ing and application of technical or “professional” skills. Faculty diversity also means a variety for students when deciding on thesis topics and future research interests. Whatever your LIS-related area of interest is coming into the program, there is no doubt a capable supervisor who can assist and guide you in your research. This variety also means you may nd yourself taking an interest in areas of LIS that you were previously unfamiliar with. Either way, more so than the average LIS program, students here are able to “broaden their horizons” when it comes to learn-ing about the many dierent areas which contribute to the Information Science eld. Unique experiences can be found outside of the program as well. The University of Tsukuba is a diverse institution as well, both in the range of activities oered and the cultures represented by the student body, and whether you want to enroll in some non-LIS courses or join one of the numerous clubs and circles oered, the options for students are many. The unique opportunity to study in Japan is another great aspect of the program. Academic life is engaging and is sure to keep you busy, but there is more than enough time to enjoy life in Japan as well ‒ something the faculty encourages. My desire to expe-rience living in Japan was equal to my interest in entering the English LIS program, and for the prospective students who may feel similar, I can say that both of these desires have exceeded my expectations. 博士前期課程English ProgramKiryakos Senan博士前期課程 English ProgramRahmi
