CONTOH STUDY PLAN

In this study program, for the first two year, I will describe my study plan in 6-month period, started
from the arrival in Japan in April 2013.
From April 2013 to October 2013, I will focus on attending the Japanese Language Course (JLC) since it is
mandatory for me to master Japanese as soon as possible. I am sure it will help me a lot in adaptation
process if the course is held in the university where I will conduct my research. Also, it will be a great
place to generate a network for the social needs and future study in Japan. In the JLC program, I believe
that I am suitable to join Intermediate Class because I have learned some fundamental Japanese
previously.
During the intensive six-month Japanese language course, I will take some time to go to my research
location. As described in research description, I would propose myself to do research in Graduate School
of Informational Science (GSIS), Tohoku University. Though my previous study is Mathematics, I have
already carefully decided why I would like to enroll in GSIS. I have learned that most Mathematics
Department in Japan universities does not provide such lab that focus on this specialization. In GSIS, I
will do my research in Computer and Mathematical Science Department. For the research, if I am able to
enroll as research student in Tohoku University, Im planning to join Prof. Akihiro Munemasas lab in
Mathematical Structure I. I believe the lab would provide me a suitable work environment for my
research. For the early preparation, I have also contacted Prof. Akihiro Munemasa in April 2012 and met
him personally in July 2012 and he said he would gladly accept me to be his future research student.
From October 2013 to April 2014, I am planning to conduct my research there. During that time, I will
also prepare to take the entrance examination for the graduate school which I wish to attend in March
2014. This 6-month research time will be greatly useful because I will be able to know my environment
better. Thus, if I pass the entrance examination, I will continue my research in the same lab as a
graduate student. If not, I will continue my research as research student for the last six month that is
from April 2014 until October 2014.
If I am accepted in the graduate school, from April 2014 to April 2016, I will continue my research as
graduate student with the same research theme. If possible, I will also join some clubs or social
community during this period so that I could also learn some soft skills. As a Moslem, I will surely join
the Moslem community. I am also interested in Japanese cultural club or anime club since I have interest
in both of them.
I am planning to finish my Master Program in April 2016 and continue my research for my Doctoral
Program from April 2016 until, approximately, April 2019. It will also be the end of my study program in
Japan.

After all, the ultimate goal of the research itself is to produce some high-quality papers and results that
can be widely use in other fields such as quantum physics, network arrangement, numerical analysis,
and cryptography. After I finished my study in Japan, by my teaching ability, I will gladly introduce the
algebraic combinatorics structures in Indonesia as academician, especially in my university. I am also
interested in writing books concerning the field since I have a great interest in writing. By my experience
in Japan, it is also possible for me to write some other Mathematics textbook. I wish the books will be
able to educate and motivate students from all around Indonesia.
I think I have carefully planned my study program in Japan. Since I rarely know any other student (even
lecturer) from all around the country that has interest in this field, this ultimate goal will be one of the
important steps of the development of Mathematics in Indonesia especially in algebraic combinatorics.
