  • Amgen Scholar Program, a perfect mix of summer and research you can possibly imagine. It allows you to test your talent in science practically in laboratories equipped with every possible tool, machines and specialized Professors in different fields. Through the program you get carrier guidance and interact with other scholars from across the globe and share ideas on how to make science productive to the society through biotechnology.
  • I thoroughly enjoyed myself as while the scholars worked really hard, we played hard too. I made valuable friendships from all around the world and had meaningful cultural exchanges. While going to a foreign country with a language barrier for a whole summer may seem daunting initially, this was truly a fruitful experience.
  • My only regret is that this project has a time limited; otherwise I hope to stay in Kyoto forever. The days at Kyoto University will be one of the best memories of my life. So please don’t hesitate to apply for the Kyoto University AMGEN Scholar Program.
  • I was impressed with research culture in Kyoto University. Their hard work and dedication toward science lead to numerous Nobel prize award for the university. Kyoto is a beautiful city and I can always take a break from lab work to relieve the stress. There were several meaningful industrial visits and cultural events that showed us the fusion of traditional and modern culture in Kyoto.
