Message to Potential Candidates to Ogawa Seminar
I am honored and privileged to be a student of Professor Ogawa. What strikes me most is the strong bond among fellow students and between us and our supervisor, Professor Ogawa. Proactiveness is emphasized by the Professor, and each student strives to contribute their best and support one another. Learning becomes a seamless experience when surrounded by supportive classmates, distinguished doctoral students, and a Professor who consistently provides invaluable guidance for self-improvement. Additionally, Professor Ogawa facilitates numerous opportunities for networking with his former students who are now employed by various international organizations, offering prospects for internships.
Since joining Professor Ogawa’s seminar, I have gained a wealth of knowledge and continue to refine my skills. To prospective candidates interested in education development, economics of education, and international cooperation, do not hesitate, I have no doubt that you will find fulfillment in joining Professor Ogawa’s seminar.
