Programs at the University of Tokyo
1) The Global Science Course (GSC) is a new undergraduate 2 year-long transfer program. It was designed to enhance cross-cultural interactions among young minds from around the world coming together to learn science.
All GSC classes are conducted in English by world-leading professors who are pursuing cutting-edge research in the most advanced fields, while also focusing on the fostering of students who will lead the next generation in science communities.
By giving students the opportunity to study abroad in Tokyo, they will not only get the chance to make the most of our world renowned facilities but will also be able to experience Japanese lifestyle and culture first-hand.
This is an invaluable opportunity for those looking to expand their worldviews and experience something unique during their time as an undergraduate student.
Furthermore, successful applicants are rewarded with a generous scholarship. This includes 150,000 Japanese yen per month to aid in paying tuition fees and support living expenses. It additionally includes fully supported rent. You can learn more about GSC through the website: http://www.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/GSC/ http://www.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/GSC/admissions/eligibility.html
2) The University of Tokyo Research Internship Program (UTRIP) is a 6-week summer internship program for students majoring in natural science and other relevant fields. It provides students with an opportunity to gain the experience of "real graduate-school life" or "research-centered life." UTRIP is a gateway to pursuing an advanced degree and experiencing academic life at our university.
Participants on UTRIP will also be granted financial support to cover their costs and expenses.
