| (3) Doctoral Program (Graduate Schools of Arts and Letters, Education, Law, Economics and Management, Science, Medicine, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Engineering, Agriculture, International Cultural Studies, Information Sciences, Life Sciences, Environmental Studies, and Educational Informatics / Education Division) | ||
This is a course for a student with a master's degree who intends to pursue a doctor's degree. An international student can apply for this course if he or she has received a master's degree from a graduate school abroad which is equivalent to a master's degree from a Japanese university, or if he or she is recognized to be equal or superior in scholastic achievements to a student with a master's degree from a Japanese university. |
||
| (4) Doctoral Program (Graduate Schools of Medicine and Dentistry) | ||

A student who has completed eighteen years of formal education in a foreign country or a student who is recognized to be equal or superior in scholastic achievements to a graduate from a faculty of medicine, dentistry, or veterinary science in Japan may apply for this course. It should be noted that a student who wants to engage in clinical research is advised to acquire a medical or dental practitioner's license issued by the Japanese Government; otherwise the student may have difficulty carrying out his research activities. In most cases, a graduate of an overseas university who wishes to be admitted as a regular graduate student first registers as a research student, and later has his status changed to that of a regular graduate student, once he has proved himself to have excellent research abilities and has successfully passed screening examination. However, depending on the department, there are cases where an international student is admitted directly into the program. |
