Message to Potential Candidates to Ogawa Seminar:

Hello Everyone, From the very first online interview for provisional acceptance, I have found Ogawa Sensei to be incredibly supportive and inspiring. Upon arriving on campus, I was warmly welcomed into a diverse seminar group where all classmates and seniors are not only approachable but also generous with thoughtful advice and guidance on any questions you might have.

The academic and professional achievements of the seminar’s seniors and alumni are truly inspiring and serve as a strong motivation to strive for excellence. If you are passionate about the field of education economics, I highly encourage you to consider joining Ogawa Sensei’s seminar.
