A. The reason I chose the ASCI to study, because this program provides me scholarship to pursue my study without schooling, and I am able to pursue my work at the same time. On the other hand, I am still with my family.

A. Advantages: 1.) Opportunity to extend academic degree and knowledge 2.) Greater opportunity to be promoted at work place 3.) All in the answer of the question above. Disadvantages: Frankly, one main disadvantage of the program, the students cannot receive scholarship for daily expense. As you know, the government officer in developing countries usually do not get highly paid. Therefore, studying this program without support with low monthly salary is very hard. It is required a strong commitment (both study and family) and good financial management to support family living standard.

Especially, I got the highest academic degree which is PhD in life. Furthermore, after graduation, I gain a lot of trust from my management, and I have been promoted to higher position as expected. Frankly, I am not smart to learn, but I am disciplined. PhD study really influences me to be disciplined. I still believe that being disciplined can gain more successes than just being smart.

The more you read, the better knowledge you have to make your research topic sound and rational. Please work closely with your main supervisor.

A. Development of Administrative litigation in Mongolia.

A. First, the program allowed me to study while I am still able to hold my position at home country. In other words, hybrid nature of program enables me to make research under supervision of learned professors at Nagoya. Also, the program offered full scholarship and expenses paid by the school. These are reasons that I applied and successfully completed the program.

A. Advantages; Hybrid nature of program enables me to make research under supervision of learned professors at Nagoya. Also, the program offered full scholarship and expenses paid by the school. ASCI supporting team was key to fulfil the research in English. In my study time, there were two native speaker and one assistant professor who helped my study and research beside my supervisor’s tireless support and help. Disadvantage: at the beginning housing during my visit in Nagoya were poor. But eventually it improved. Another thing that school might consider to improve might be the involvement of two sub-advisers’ role in the program.

A. The greatest one is that became familiar with how to conduct in depth research. Methodology and way of conducting research is the very important thing I have learned from my study. Oh, I have learned a lot form my supervisor Professor Ichihashi Katsuya, he fully helped and supported my research and study. I am lucky to had him as my supervisor because I also familiar some other students whose supervisor were a bit difficult to work with. It so depends on the supervisor then.

A. I want to continue use my skill in research to my teaching role and writing in future.

A. It depends on two things. One is you, how you plan and make commitment to the study because its not easy to complete it while working. Other one is who is your supervisor and how you cope with your supervisor is important to successfully complete your research. Others are taken care of by Nagoya University and ASCI.

A. “The Regulation of Price-fixing Cartels under Vietnam's Competition Law: A Comparative Analysis with the Japanese Anti-monopoly Act and the EU Competition Law”

A. The reason why I chose the ASCI to study a Doctoral Degree is because I really want to deepen my legal knowledge and experiences right after completing my Master’s Degree at Nagoya University Graduate School of Law. Significantly, this ASCI program helped me continue to connect with previous professors from Nagoya University to study the specialized field of competition law. Furthermore, the program offered a flexible study time while I was working and had a great opportunity to apply the specialized knowledge and legal analysis skills in the daily legal practice.

A. The ASCI program offers highly specialized and respected professors and experts in various fields of law. In addition, the ASCI also provided necessary tools to keep the study progressing. One of my concerns when I started this program is the legal documents and book sources to study. However, the ASCI connected me with the library of Nagoya University Graduate School of Law to access to the requested books and documents. Then, the ASCI collected and sent them to my home country. That's amazing arrangement!

A. My comparative legal analysis capability has been improved. The close supervision of professors helped me develop the skills of comparative legal analysis in a logical and persuasive way. Thanks to this guidance, I understood that although the supporting evidence and practical cases play important part in comparing the competition regimes, the relationship between legally substantive issue and procedural matters should be taken into account due to the different capacity to execute the law in each country. Therefore, the suggestion for improvements should be done in a practical and applicable way.

A. Completing the Doctoral Degree is not an end to my research journey. Having obtained a deep legal knowledge and analysis skills from this program brings more opportunities to me, including the teaching professional at a university. In addition, the aspiration to establish a law firm with high reputation, greatly positive reviews from clients and high-ranking qualified lawyers is also my next career development goal in the near future.

A. I think you should clearly define your expectation from this PhD program and make a good plan to complete the program. Also, committing yourself to write several paragraphs everyday is a key to progress your study. Furthermore, keeping close contact and direct discussion with the professors will help you address concerns and overcome difficulties that may arise.
