Graduate International Research Student (Daigakuin-Kenkyusei) Program

The Graduate International Research Student (Daigakuin-Kenkyusei) Program at the Institute of Science Tokyo (formerly Tokyo Medical and Dental University) offers international students the opportunity to engage in research activities under the supervision of a faculty member. This program is designed for individuals who aspire to pursue graduate-level studies and wish to gain research experience within their chosen field before formally enrolling in a master's or doctoral degree program. Participants are integrated into the university's research environment, allowing them to deepen their understanding and develop their research skills. The program outlines specific application periods for prospective students, with particular guidance for those residing outside Japan. Successful applicants are required to submit a comprehensive set of documents, including a detailed research plan. The university also provides assistance with visa application processes and offers a student insurance system to support international participants during their stay. Accepted departments for research are detailed in separate official documents. This initiative aims to foster advanced research capabilities and facilitate a smooth transition for international students into the Japanese academic system.
