It is recommended to use PowerPoint and so on for presentation. We prepare necessary electronic equipments (a PC projector), but each applicant must bring his/her own personal computer. The PC projector in the interview room is compatible with VGA interface only. It is required to bring a proper conversion cable, if it is necessary. Please prepare a presentation before the day of exam and bring your own personal computer. If you have questions on the oral exam such as available equipments, please contact us at the address below.
Based on our experience in working student education, we have started a new fast track program "Fast track doctoral program for working students", invoking the existing regulations for "fast track schemes".
We conduct the entrance examination for overseas residents. You can find the official document form bottom of the web page in the "For Overseas Residents: Doctoral Program"
You can access the official document and the application form (after they are available) from the web page in English or Japanese.
