Hiroshima University has established the Hiroshima University Global Doctoral Fellowship to support international doctoral students by providing an environment where they can focus on their research, fostering their growth so that they can contribute to Japan’s future in science, technology, and innovation, and become global leaders.
This program seeks individuals with a broad perspective and knowledge, sound judgment, and the ability to take action—those who can leverage these qualities to contribute to Japan’s future in science, technology, and innovation and to advance efforts that make the world a better place. In particular, we are looking for applicants who intend to be directly involved in creating science, technology, and innovation in Japan after earning their doctoral degree at Hiroshima University. This will be a key consideration in our selection process.
Selected students will be employed as research fellows and provided with a salary and research funds.

The application for the Hiroshima University Global Doctoral Fellowship (support starting in April 2026) is scheduled to open on December 8, 2025.
