Tokyo Institute of Technology ("Tokyo Tech") and RIKEN, a leading advanced research institute in
Japan, launched the Tokyo Institute of Technology-RIKEN International School ("Tokyo Tech-RIKEN
International School") in April 2008.
The main purpose of this program is to offer international students an opportunity to enroll in a
doctoral program at Tokyo Tech as well as a chance to carry out research at Tokyo Tech and RIKEN.
Tokyo Tech offers only the September admission option for this program. Tokyo Tech accepts
students to this program once a year in September.
The academic supervisors will be both Tokyo Tech and RIKEN professors who specialize in the field of
research of the participating students.
There is no Japanese language requirement for this program 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.
Applications are now closed. The next call for applications starts in January, 2023

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.
The Institute 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will be dismissed or withdrawn from the Institute if they have already completed
the enrollment procedure. In addition, enrollment and tuition fees will not be
refunded under any circumstances. As such, it is highly advisable that successful
applicants who fail to obtain a COE before the enrollment procedure takes place
apply for a postponement of payment of those fees.
