Japanese Degree Translates to Dream Job

After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Japanese, Benjamin Lay worked in Japan as a coordinator for international relations for the Japanese Exchange and Teaching programme.

He says that his degree provided a solid foundation for this. “No matter how intense your study is, it’s always going to be challenging. But my degree provided a really good springboard and helped me establish myself in Japan,” he says.

Now a marketing manager at an Auckland based company that exports fresh New Zealand produce to Japan and South Korea – Benjamin says that having this degree was a significant draw card when he applied for the job.

“During the recruitment process for my job my employer noted that my degree was a very reputable qualification. The degree stood out.”
