Le Thanh Thongさん 在学・修了生の声

Why did you choose to study at graduate school? Why GSIA? What do you like about GSIA?

First, I chose to study graduate school with the aim of improving my salary after graduation. After graduating from university in Vietnam, I started looking for a job, and to be honest, the salary I received was not what I wanted. I began to find out why my friends around me could find opportunities so much better than me and I realized it was my lack of self-confidence. After that, I decided to look for opportunities to study abroad in the hope of broadening my knowledge and finding confidence in myself. This is why I decided to go to graduate school.

I chose GSIA because it has a discount on tuition fees for foreign students and it really made a big impact on me. Unlike China or Korea, the Vietnamese currency is actually a lot weaker than that of Japan, so this tuition subsidy means a lot to me and I think to most Vietnamese students here.

What I love most about GSIA is the dedication of the professors. I have to say that the professors at GSIA are super-super nice. I remember I spent my four years in university in Vietnam and there are only a few lecturers in the school who gave me this kind of admiration. If someone asked me if she or he should study at GSIA, I would 100% say yes because I don't think there are many opportunities to meet professors like ours.

What is your research topic? What is your seminar class like? What would you like to pursue after graduation?

Now, my topic research is "Internet of thing (IoT) ecosystem and its impact on global container transportation.” After graduating, I plan to find a job opportunity in Singapore or Thailand and work there for two to five years. I believe, with the amount of knowledge I will obtain during my time studying at GSIA, along with my experiences which I can gain while working in an international environment, will give me a huge opportunity when I return to Vietnam.

A message to prospective students.

Be open to professors at GSIA, and you will receive greater opportunities like you have never expected.
