Postgraduate International research student (non-degree)

What is it?

An International Research Student (Kenkyusei in Japanese) is a non-degree-pursuing student who studies a specific subject under the supervision of a faculty member of the Graduate School. International research students can also prepare for the entrance examination of the Master or Doctoral program, usually for 1 year. During this period, you can also learn Japanese for your campus activities and your daily life.
