“I completed a two-week internship at the Mitsubishi Research Institute working as a consultant in the company’s Mobilities and Communication Business Unit (MCU). Through this internship, I not only gained a deeper insight into the Japan’s approaches to various frontier topics in my field of research, but also obtained hands on experience on working in Japan and in the consulting sector.” Geography & the Environment student, MRI intern 2024
“I worked in the Social Safety and Industrial Innovation Unit (SSU), as this most closely aligned with my current studies and interests, but also features very different aspects that I hadn’t considered before, such as market research and policy writing. As such, this experience has really opened my eyes to the strides currently being made to support international efforts to move towards Net Zero and clean energy sources. This experience has allowed me to much more acutely understand the difference in working ethic and has given me a greater appreciation for Japanese culture.” Materials Science student, MRI intern 2023.
“I found the internship stimulating, I was never bored, I felt like my voice was listened to throughout and the experience was cultivated to meet my needs – overall, great fun and a great opportunity to develop some professional skills that will doubtless prove useful long after I have graduated from Oxford.” Japanese Studies student, MRI intern 2022
