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 international students is available on the web page of
the International Student center (here
).
Non-degree research students are those who conduct research about a specific
research topic under the guidance
of an academic advisor. Upon receiving permission from their academic advisor or the instructor(s)
in charge of courses,
non-degree research students are allowed to attend courses related to the research topic, but they
cannot earn credits
nor are they eligible to receive Master's or Doctoral degrees.
Prior to application, applicants must obtain the informal consent of the prospective
academic advisor to supervise the
research activities during the period of non-degree research student.
Please see here for the
detail.
