2. Scholarships/Monbukagakusho
Scholarship
It is quite hard to get any kind of scholarship here in
Japan. You should apply for scholarships in your home country before leaving for
Japan. If you go to the nearest Japanese Embassy or Consulate in your country,
you can get both information and an application form to apply for a
Monbukagakusho Scholarship, which the Japanese Government offers to
International students to study in Japan. (The University of Tokyo does not
distribute the application form for Monbukagakusho Scholarships.)
For
information about scholarships, please refer to Scholarship
Information.
3. Accommodation Facilities
The
University operates the University of Tokyo International Lodges (Shirokanedai
and Komaba), Mitaka International Students Hall, and Toshima International
Students Hall which provide lodging facilities for students and researchers from
abroad. The accommodations, however, are limited, and most students live in
dormitories of private foundations, or in apartments or rooming
houses.
4. Japanese Language Program
We offer Japanese
Language lessons, however basically it is very hard to get into the intensive
course if you are not a Monbukagakusho Scholarship Student. Please remember that
you are required to have advanced Japanese language ability to be accepted to
our department.
Please refer to Japanese
Language Lessons.
