International Graduate Program
Our institute provides the following programs for students from abroad, who wish to study in Graduate Schools to pursue a Master’s or Doctor’s degree. Since lectures and seminars are given in English, it is not essential to master the Japanese language beforehand. However, students are advised to learn Japanese, attending a couple of Japanese classes per week on a regular basis, for further enrichment. Our Department offers lectures and seminars listed on the next page, although students are allowed and also requested to take credits from other department.
