Message to Potential Candidates to Ogawa Seminar:
One of the most appealing points of GSICS is that we can actually exercise theory which we have learned. We study theory and methodology through taking lectures at GSICS, and then we employ them in research activities or internship programs. In addition, special lectures from famous professors and practitioners from all over the world are often held. We are also able to learn from them. Furthermore, not only Japanese students but also the exchange students are so smart, and their background is so different from me that they encourage us to study harder. Ogawa-seminar is better than other universities in terms of providing various experience. I hope we can learn together in Ogawa-zemi!!
