9.FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

  1. Q.
    I would like to apply for Master's or Doctor's course. How can I apply?
    A.
    You can apply directly for the Master's/Ph.D course for international students without first being a “kenkyusei”. You can also take the general entrance exam for Master's/Ph.D course in competition with Japanese students and foreign students who reside in Japan.
  2. Q.
    Are there any university scholarships available at The University of Tokyo?
    A.
    There is a scholarship called the "Support Fund for International Students' awarded by The University of Tokyo Foundation, to which International Research Students are also eligible to apply. The stipend is 50,000 yen per month, and given for one year from April or for six months from October. Typically, one student (selected from Master Course, Doctoral Course, and International Research Student candidates) from the Graduate School of Science receives this scholarship each year.
    The details can be found in the following website (Japanese):
    https://www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/adm/inbound/ja/finance-scholarships-fund.html
  3. Q.
    Are there any scholarships available from private foundations for which I can apply before coming to Japan?
    A.
    There are only few scholarships research students can apply for before coming to Japan. Also, most of the scholarships are for students who are enrolled in Master's and Doctor's programs rather than for research students ("kenkyusei"). Even international students enrolled as degree candidates find obtaining scholarships to be quite difficult. Therefore, we recommend that students obtain scholarships before leaving their own country if at all possible.
  4. Q.
    How can I apply for a Monbukagakusho Scholarship by Embassy Recommendation?
    A.
    Students can obtain both the application form and detailed information at the Japanese Embassy/Consulate in their own country. (The University of Tokyo does not have the application forms.) The application form and all other required supporting documents must be submitted to the Japanese Embassy/Consulate General.
