Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) launched its International Graduate Program (IGP) admissions in October 2007 as an opportunity for qualified international students, who may have little or no knowledge of the Japanese language, to enroll in master's programs, doctoral programs, and integrated doctoral education programs conducted entirely in English.
With a varied group of academic departments participating in IGP admissions, 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.
