STUDY PLAN

My name is Susi Susanti Tindaon, 22 years old female, graduating from

Department of Economics, Accounting Education Study Program, State University of
Medan, Province of North Sumatera, Indonesia with final GPA 3.58 out of 4.00.
Currently, Im working as an Economics and Social Science tutor at Primagama
Institute. For me teaching is not only a job but also it is kind of the spirit calling from
my deepest heart, it was really amazing and proud of making people come to
understand something that they do not understand before. That is why I love the
world of education ever since I was at Primary School. Beside teaching I love
economics business too, this one is the biggest part of me right now. I have been
very interested in business since Elementary School, knowing how to get much
money through selling product as well as knowing the characteristics of many people
outside, taught me how to manage the time to get success in business and what kind
of strategy which is powerful to get much better results as well as how to work
together in group or team well. That time I had to be smart to analyzing the various
of human characters to make them undertstand what I explained. Everything
happened since that time, and yes I love to analyze the behavior of human
characteristics as well as kind of social responsibility. Over time I love business
much more until now, more over, my parents are traders, even not the big traders but
they have always taught me how to do business well through learning the customers
behavior. In undergraduate program I studied some courses which are related to that
goal. Some of them are Introduction to Macro Economics, Introduction to Micro
Economics, Introduction to Business, English For Business, Economic Statistics,
Introduction to Management, Entrepeneurship, Business Feasibility Study, Financial
Management, Business Law, Research Methodology, Management of Information
System, Audit of Management, and System of Management Controlling where of
each courses I got the great academic achievement. For this reason after completing
my Bachelors degree I am planning to pursue my Masters degree overseas to
improve my knowledge and ability as well to strengthen my character, that is why I
decide to learn more about business in International Business Program because this
program will not only teach theoretical knowledge but more than that, there is
practical knowledge based on the field in business.

Taiwan is the country where I would like to stay. I have read much more about
Taiwan and I found that Taiwan is a multination country, many foreigners, many
foreign industries, and it improves greatly time by time. This condition will be an
advantage for foreign student like me to learn much new knowledges and gain many
experiences.
Studying in Taiwan will be a great chance for everyone, including me, not only
because of the offered scholarship but also because of the educational system itself.
After searching for the university in Taiwan, I am sure that CYCU as one of the best
private universities in Taiwan will enable me to realize all of my expectations with its
curriculum especially in the International Business. CYCU as the leading university in
Taiwan is the great place for me to grow and improving my self. I desire to be the
part of this educated community, which will trigger my potential improvement. If I get
the chance to join here, I will give my best perform and finish the master degree in 2
years with the great academic achievement. I am sure I can do that. I do really hope
that studying at an international university will make me understand more how to
deal with many types of people and after graduating, I will have a larger scoop of
working in the field.
One important factor that makes me believe that CYCU International Business
Program is a right choice is the overseas entrepreneurship internship. Beside the
compulsory and optional subjects given in classes, this internship will enrich the
student with practical knowledge. More over, one of the characteristics of CYCU
International Business program is to make students deeply understand practical
experience in enterprises by offering case study program which is encourage me
deeply, because I like to handle and solve the case about the currently business
situation. One of my favorite professor in International Business CYCU is Professor
Chun-Tsung Chin who has the same interest with me. I have sent him an email
requiring him to be my adviser if I am accepted in CYCU and he responded my email
saying that he really excited. I am sure if I am accepted in CYCU I will publish many
papers.
After getting my Masters degree, in the next I want to continue to persue the
doctoral degree. If all of those programs completed, my deepest commitment is to go
back to Indonesia, do all things I got and learned from Taiwan especially from CYCU,
building a new great business with my own capability as well as try to develop the
Indonesia education system. To be a great and leading entrepreneur, lecturer and

researcher is the most willingness of me. I have a desire to transfer and develop the
knowledge that I have gained from this program to the students in Indonesia. I want
to motivate and equip them as well as share and spread the knowledge I have is the
happiness of life for me. That is my biggest goal.
Finally, I am sure that I am capable to obtain good performance during my study
at CYCU because it is my own expectation so that I will be able to motivate myself
totally. Not only at the time of study, but also after I am graduated, I will do all my
best to run business confidently with all of my educational background and
experiences.

Sincerely yours,

Susi Susanti Tindaon

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.
