Fast Track to Graduate School
I discovered the joy of learning in high school, and at GIS, I enjoyed a university life filled with learning and discovery, deepened by curiosity. However, going to a graduate school still seemed out of reach to me, and to be honest, I hadn’t considered it at all when I entered GIS. But it was words of encouragement from the GIS professors, especially Professors Niiya and Khezrnejat, that made me think “Maybe I can do this too.” Additionally, interacting with exchange students in my classes from graduate schools abroad, especially in Europe, I began to think that a master’s degree might be a good choice to expand my future options. It took careful consideration, but I concluded that earning a master’s degree was the best path for me at this stage of my life.
高校で学ぶことの楽しさに気がつき、GISでは好奇心に基づいて学びを深め、学びと発見に溢れる楽しい大学生活を送っていましたが、海外の大学院で学ぶということは、自分には手の届かないことのように思い、正直、入学当初は全く考えていませんでした。しかし、在学中にGISの教授（新谷教授とケズナジャット教授）にいただいたお言葉がきっかけとなり、「自分にもできるかもしれない」と思えるようになり、海外大学院に進学することを決意しました。
また、大学での授業を通して海外（特にヨーロッパの）大学院からの交換留学生と交流を深めるうちに、将来的な選択肢を増やすためにも良い選択なのではないかと思い、総合的に考えた結果、修士号を取得することが今の自分にとって一番良い進路であると判断しました。

Fast-track to the World of Tech / IT の世界へファストトラック
As a student in college, I was eager to start my career as fast as possible. After much consideration, I decided to pursue early graduation. It wasn’t the easier path, as it meant taking a heavy course load and sacrificing some aspects of the traditional college experience. However, the benefits I reaped were worth it. I was able to secure a job in tech, start gaining invaluable real-world experience, and pursue my career goals earlier than I thought possible.
大学生だった私は、一刻も早くキャリアをスタートさせたいと考えていました。いろいろ考えた末に、私は早期卒業を目指すことにしました。授業量が多くなり、大学生の時にしか経験のできないものも少し妥協することになるため、決して楽な道ではありませんでした。しかし、それに見合うだけのメリットを得ることができました。IT業界への就職が決まり、実社会で貴重な経験を積み、想像以上に早く自分のキャリア目標を追うことができているのです。

Fast Track to Graduation - The Experience, Challenges, and Benefits
Graduating early from GIS is a challenging yet rewarding experience. While it can be daunting to take on extra coursework, graduating early shows dedication, time-management skills, and the ability to take on challenging tasks which are beneficial skills in all walks of life. There are many benefits to graduating early, including the ability to save money on tuition and living expenses and allowing for more time to pursue other opportunities such as graduate school and early experience in the job market.
Personally, graduating early from GIS was a major factor in my acceptance to the University of Oxford. The discipline and time-management skills I gained during my accelerated program at GIS prepared me for the rigors of graduate-level coursework and research. I am now well-equipped for a career in academia, thanks in part to my experience graduating early.
