Shigeki Aizawa (LPC 94-96) currently works for Goldman Sachs in Tokyo.  Shigeki spent a year at the Faculty of Law, University College London for one year before returning to Japan to complete his studies at the Faculty of Law, Kyoto University.

 

“I first heard about UWC through my high school.  But the UWC experience is not just an academic education, it is about understanding cultural differences.  It gave us the chance to see outside and at the same time, to look inside ourselves and to think about our role in the world.” says Shigeki.

 

“The two years that I spent at UWC were very important to me and continue to influence all aspects of my life.  I would say that it was one of the best experiences in my life so far.

 

"UWC is unique; and we are all presented with many different chances in life, and we should take them.  But we, as graduates of UWC, should not think ourselves as special, but rather that we were given a unique and special opportunity.

 

“Every single day, which you would start off as thinking was just a usual day, would end up as really unusual and special.  Talking to other students from everywhere without thinking of nationality, race or culture was unbelievable.  I now have made so many wonderful friends from all over the world, which without UWC, I would never have had a chance to meet and become close friends with”.
