My graduate studies journey at AUC equipped me with all the necessary tools and methods to do well structured research, and granted me with a unique opportunity to get introduced to new subjects in my field of study. I wouldn’t have gained such a unique experience at AUC without the support of the Ryoichi Sasakawa fellowship that is highly committed to helping students who aspire for pursuing their graduate studies in diverse disciplines.
