Application for International Students

 

  International applicants usually spend a research student (Kenkyu-sei) period to prepare for the admission examinations with the assistance of a faculty member relevant to the applicant's academic interest. Alternatively, you can skip that period and directly take the examinations. Please also make sure about the visa regulations at the nearby Japanese Embassy, before coming to Japan. 

General information for prospective and current international students is available on the web page (http://www.intersc.tsukuba.ac.jp/01prospective/classifications_kenkyusei) of the International Student Center (http://www.intersc.tsukuba.ac.jp/index.htm) in the University of Tsukuba. The information about the enrollment for international students is also available in this page (http://www.intersc.tsukuba.ac.jp/01prospective/guidebook.htm).

 
 
Application for Research Student (Kenkyu-sei)

  This program is for foreign students who seek to conduct their research under the guidance of academic advisors. Research students cannot earn credits or receive degrees. They need prior approval from the instructor of the courses they wish to attend.
  An applicant is required to obtain consent from a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science, pertinent to his/her academic interest, to serve as an advisor during the research student period. Moreover, the applicant is required to contact the prospective academic advisor (a Professor or an Associate Professor) concerning the study plans and the Japanese language proficiency, then obtain his/her advanced approval before applying for research student status in the university. Details are shown in the PDF guidebook (http://www.intersc.tsukuba.ac.jp/01prospective/guidebook.htm) from International Student Center of University of Tsukuba.

  The web page of the information about the faculty members and research laboratories is as follows.
