Studying at Greenwich

   Studying abroad is an invaluable experience.  This is second time for me to drop out of my life in Japan and start up a new career overseas since I was 20 years old.
   I will join MA public relations at University of Greenwich, London, UK in September.  It is very challenging for me to quit my job as a journalist.  I have worked at newspaper journalism industry for 12 years after I graduated from a Japanese university.  My friends and colleagues were surprised and sometimes annoyed by my decision because people, especially men, in Japan usually work for the same company till their retirement.  However, I would like to develop my career by learning about the different field of business such as public relations which is closely related with mass media.
   In this blog, I will record what I thought and studied at Greenwich for a year.  I hope this will help other international students get into PR industry.  Thank you.
