Congratulations on your admission to the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) International Graduate Program. Outlined below are the conditions for enrollment. Please read them thoroughly as they contain important information regarding the necessary procedures for entering Tokyo Tech.
If you are selected as a MEXT scholarship student, please refer to “Necessary Preparations for Those Coming to Japan as IGP Students (MEXT scholarship).”
Please complete the “Pledge” form to accept our offer of admission, or the “Notice to Decline Admission Offer” to decline the offer of admission, and submit it to us at ryugakusei@jim.titech.ac.jp as an email attachment no later than the deadline designated by each program.
Please note that you must submit the pledge until you submit a COE application form to Tokyo Tech.
Privately funded students are required to pay the enrollment fee and annual tuition.
Payment of the enrollment fee must be made via bank transfer and received by Tokyo Tech before the enrollment procedure date. Tuition payment should be made after your enrollment is approved.
For enrollment fee and tuition fee, please follow the instructions described in "Enrollment Procedure Guide".
※Estimated shipping date of "Enrollment Procedure Guide" is; early September for fall intake (both master/doctoral programs), late January for master's program spring intake, and early March for doctoral program spring intake.
International students newly enrolling at Tokyo Tech need to obtain and enter Japan with a "Student Visa," which can be acquired by submitting a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) issued by the Immigration Services Agency of Japan to the Japanese embassy/consulate in the student’s home country.
For procedures and required documents for COE application, please refer to the "Visa & Immigration" section of the Tokyo Tech website and submit the required documents to the address as specified. Inquiries concerning COE application should be sent to the email address provided in the "Visa & Immigration" section.
Those with residence cards are not required to apply for a COE. However, for those who need to change their status or period of stay, please refer to the "Visa & Immigration" section.
If there are no issues upon review of your COE application documents, Tokyo Tech will submit them to the Immigration Services Agency on your behalf promptly after your admittance is announced. Although no deadline is set, it is strongly advised that your COE documents be sent to us by early December 2023, as the procedure will be operated on a first-come, first-served basis. For documents submitted in Mid December 2023 or later, processing may be delayed.
There may be cases where the COE application is not accepted by the Immigration Services Agency of Japan. Those without a COE will not be permitted to enter Japan and must withdraw from enrollment at Tokyo Tech if the enrollment procedure has already been completed. Please also note that enrollment and tuition fees, once paid, will not be refunded under any circumstances. However, Tokyo Tech has a system for postponing the payment of these fees.
For the latest notice from Tokyo Tech involving International Students, please refer to the Tokyo Tech website.
You are required to complete enrollment procedures by the designated deadline. For more information, Student Division will contact you via email.
