  • FAQs
  • How do I contact teaching staff?
    • Please refer to RIDAI (searches can only be done in Japanese).
  • How do I make an application?
    • Please refer to the Admissions page. If you have further queries please inquire using the Contact Us page.
  • Are there any courses conducted in English? Can I enroll without any Japanese language skills?
    • Undergraduate:
      Classes are taught entirely in Japanese language. Therefore, you need Japanese skills of a level that allows you to attend class without problems.
      Graduate:
      First, check the application guidebook to see if you meet the qualifications required for an application.
      Then, when you apply, there will be an interview by the advising teacher of the laboratory you desire to work in, and you can ask whether your application was successful.
  • Does TUS have any scholarships for International Students?
    • In regards to scholarships, unfortunately at TUS we do not have any scholarships for international students on undergraduate and master`s programs. However, the Japanese government, the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO), local public organizations, international exchange organizations, and private organizations offer various scholarships for international students to study in Japan. Please refer to the Scholarships for further information.
  • I am an undergraduate and would like to study abroad at TUS for one semester. Is this possible?
    • Unfortunately, at this current time we do not offer any exchange programs for undergraduates.
  • My current university is one of TUS’s Overseas Partner Universities, and I would like to study abroad at TUS for part of my master’s / doctoral degree. What should I do?
    • Please consult with your international office at your university. They shall contact us on your behalf to discuss a possible exchange.
  • My current university is not one of TUS’s Overseas Partner Universities. Can I still study abroad at TUS for part of my master’s / doctoral degree?
    • In order to be accepted by TUS without Academic Agreement of Cooperation between TUS and your University, you have to find a supervisor in your University who has joint research project with TUS. In case the faculty member of TUS agrees to host you, please ask the TUS supervisor to contact to International Affairs Section of TUS 4 -5 months prior to the starting date of research trip.

    • If you wish to apply to enter TUS as a postgraduate student, please see the guidelines explained here. For Ph.D. admissions one of the first things you need to do is find a Professor who would agree to be your supervisor. To this aim, I suggest you try looking at the TUS website and the staff lists to find a Professor working in a similar research field to yourself. Write to them about your research proposal.
