Q. How will the selection process for “foreign research student” applicants be like?

A. Whether or not an applicant can be admitted as a “foreign research student” is not based on the judgment of an individual professor, but is the result of screening conducted on the basis of standard procedures that have been specified by the department. Therefore, it is not possible for an applicant to make arrangements to be accepted in advance, based on informal discussions with an academic supervisor at the graduate school.
