About International Research Students
Students wishing to study a specific subject, at either the undergraduate or graduate level, may be admitted as research students ("kenkyuusei").

Most applicants for admission to a graduate school gain admission to the University as a research student first, and then prepare for the entrance examination to the graduate school of their choice while researching their subject in more detail.
In order to apply for research student course, first of all, you should find your prospective supervisor and have a talk with him/her on your research, using e-mail or phone.
We will send you the application forms if you get his/her agreement to supervise you after your admission. So, please contact us by e-mail using the contact information below.
