Graduate Programs (Master's/Doctoral)

General Information

Many international students enroll from six months to one year as "Research Student" to conduct research under the guidance of their academic supervisors before enrolling in Graduate Degree Programs. (BUT the supervisors may allow international students to take an entrance examination without being "Research Student".)

The majority of the courses in our Graduate Degree Programs are conducted in Japanese. Graduate Degree Programs offered in English are as follows:
