Instructor

Instructor	Yasuhiro Nakamura
Message from the instructor	Seeing the real thing and hearing directly from experts is definitely a great way to learn. While we encourage our students to do a lot of research on their own, we also make sure they have direct contact with professionals from time to time to deepen their learning. It's certainly a great experience for people who love airplanes, but we also want to plan it in a way that will be a valuable learning experience for those who aren't particularly interested in airplanes.

Voices of seminar students

(Kajiwara): In the seminar, we cover recent aviation-related topics and work in groups to address challenges faced by airlines and airports, exploring solutions and broadening our knowledge of the aviation industry. Another attractive aspect is the close relationships between students and the professor, the deepening of interactions through group work, and the active participation of students in activities outside of the seminar!
(Kimura): It's a lively seminar where we all work together in a friendly group, and we also take part in things like airport tours and company information sessions!
