Message to Potential Candidates to Ogawa Seminar
Fortunately, I have gotten a scholarship for obtaining doctoral degree in the Graduate School of International Cooperation Studies at Kobe University in Japan through the Strengthening for Higher Education Project supported by Asian Development Bank (ADB). I found that programs provided by GSICS are very useful and challengeable. Many international students around the world are gathering and studying here in this beautiful and peaceful place, where all can exchange information, experience and culture. They have a good provision of reading materials, easy to access library, and broad-band internet as well as many well-known professors from various places to equip you with modern and cutting-edge knowledge and experience. I like the Prof. Ogawa seminar because it improves my research skill more and more to get benefits from the program. I can learn experiences from other international students during the seminar and get knowledge and skill from international well-known professors’ special lectures, conferences in different institution want to be successful in their education life. It is an academic stage for you to exchange knowledge and experiences with other students and get higher knowledge from qualified professors, so you must be pro-active student. It is really important and encourages you to reach your goal and dream. Last but not least, all the success is waiting for you. Welcome you all.
