I have decided to enroll in a doctoral program starting in April 2026.
First, the conclusion. I recently received my acceptance letter, and I will be enrolling in a doctoral program, or what is commonly known as a doctoral program, starting in April 2026.

My specialization is robotics, and to put it simply, I will be conducting research on AI and robots, aiming to obtain my degree in four years. (Normally it's three years, but since I'm a working professional pursuing a doctorate, I've set a longer timeframe.)
