International Graduate Program (B)-Early Application

With a diverse group of 12 academic departments participating in IGP(B), for applicants seeking scholarships from their home governments, students should be able to find a department in which to further their research, acquire broader knowledge and understanding, and conduct advanced long-term research in a field that best matches their interests and background.
Qualified international students, who may have little or no knowledge of the Japanese language, can enroll in Scienc Tokyo's Master's or Doctoral Programs and pursue an advanced degree in Japan as lectures and seminars are held in English. However, students are given opportunities to attend Japanese language classes on a regular basis in order to better adapt to daily life in Japan.
This program aims to recruit qualified students who are expected to apply for a scholarship offered by a non-Japanese government or organization before their enrollment in a Doctoral Program at Science Tokyo, and thus need to obtain written confirmation of admission to the program.
Funders of scholarships provided to past applicants include the China Scholarship Council (CSC), the Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education (LPDP), and the Indonesian Directorate General of Higher Education (DGHE or DIKTI).

The following 12 departments are participating in IGP(B).

• School of Science
  • Physics
• School of Engineering
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Systems and Control Engineering
  • Electrical and Electronic Engineering
  • Information and Communications Engineering
  • Industrial Engineering and Economics
• School of Materials and Chemical Technology
  • Materials Science and Engineering
  • Chemical Science and Engineering
• School of Computing
  • Mathematical and Computing Science
• School of Life Science and Technology
  • Life Science and Technology
• School of Environment and Society
  • Civil and Environmental Engineering
  • Transdisciplinary Science and Engineering

To manage the risk of infectious diseases at the Institute, international students (including those from other domestic universities, technical colleges, and Japanese
language schools) who have passed the entrance exam, are urged to submit a health certificate signed by a physician in the last three months before enrollment.

Science Tokyo will apply on behalf of successful applicants for a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) after the examination results are released. There may be cases, however, where the COE application is rejected by the Immigration Services Agency of Japan. Those without a COE will not be permitted to enter Japan, and will be withdrawn from Sciecne Tokyo if they have already completed the enrollment procedure. Please also note that enrollment and tuition fees once paid will not be refunded under any circumstances. Scienc Tokyo has a system for postponing payment of those fees.

Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) and Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) will be integrated to become "Institute of Science Tokyo" (Science Tokyo) as of October 1, 2024.
Please note that those who pass the selection processes will be among the students of the new university.

Please note that, as stated on the cover of the Application Guide, successful applicants will be admitted to Science Tokyo. Therefore, this guide will use the name “Institute of Science Tokyo.”
However, faculty and staff members may be working as members of Tokyo Tech to support applicants until they are admitted. Note that systems and other equipment used may also be under the name of Tokyo Tech.
