Admission to Graduate Schools
There are two types of admissions to Graduate Schools: Regular students and Non-regular students.
Regular students are students who aim to obtain a degree, and there are Master's courses (pre-doctoral course) and Doctoral courses (post-doctoral course).
Non-regular students include research students and non-degree students, who are enrolled not with the aim of obtaining a degree, but with the purpose of receiving research guidance or taking specific courses.
With the exception of special English programs offered at each graduate school, lectures and other programs are conducted in Japanese as a general rule, including for international students.
For this reason, those who wish to enroll must have sufficient Japanese language ability to understand lectures and research guidance in their specialized fields before enrolling.
Admission to Undergraduate Schools
There are two types of admissions for Undergraduate Schools: Regular students and Non-regular students.
Regular students are students who are studying to obtain a degree, while non-regular students include research students and non-degree students. Non-regular students are not studying to obtain a degree.
As a general rule, lectures in each faculty and school are conducted in Japanese, including for international students. Therefore, those who wish to enroll must have sufficient Japanese language ability to understand the content of classes and study smoothly before enrolling.
Regular students study for four years as a general rule, and those who complete the required courses are awarded a bachelor's degree. However, in the Faculties of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences, the period of study is six years as a general rule.
