|入学後に奨学金に応募しようとする人は、大変多くの資金が必要になることを覚悟して下さい。まず日本に入国するVISAを取得するのも困難です。このため、とにかくお薦めするのが文部科学省の国費留学生に応募することです。選ばれれば、6ヶ月の語学研修を無料で受講でき、入学金と学費が免除され、更に月々の給付金がもらえます。

For Graduate Study

Admission Information

There are two ways to pursue your graduate study in Arita Laboratory. The Japanese names of the Ph. D. degree are different, but all others (including tuition fee) are the same.

  • Department of Computational Biology, Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The Univ of Tokyo
    • The entrance exam is a mixture of computer science, molecular biology, and bioinformatics.
    • The thesis theme should be related to bioinformatics.
  • Department of Biophysics and Biochemistry, Graduate School of Science, The Univ of Tokyo
    • The entrance exam is basically molecular biology and biochemistry.
    • The thesis theme should be related to biology.
Since my background is computer science, I think Frontier Sciences is much easier to enter.

Admission Information Meetings

Scholarships

For international students, scholarship is truly necessary. Without any financial aid, it is impossible to complete your graduate study in Japan. The best one is Monbukagakusho Scholarship from the Japanese Government. You will be supported 5 years plus a language course and the tuition fee will be exempted throughout your study. Please consult with your local Japan Embassy for the selection information.

Once you belong to my laboratory, you are eligible for RIKEN Junior Research Associate Program (JRA). This program is highly recommended for doctorate course students.

Living in Tokyo

The living cost in Tokyo is high. A standard studio apartment costs around 1000 USD/month. For actual prices, please see this table provided in the UTRIP site. For Ph. D. candidates, we can offer some support through Teaching Assistant or Research Assistant, but for master course students, there are not enough support programs. Part-time job is generally forbidden for international students (less than 30 hours / month).

Cost of Graduate Study
Item Cost

Entrance fee 282,000 yen Waived if you obtain MEXT Scholarship
Tuition fee 535,800 yen/year Waived if you obtain MEXT Scholarship

For international students applying sholarships after enrollment

If you plan to apply any scholarship after enrollment, keep in mind that you need substantial amount of money. Also it is difficult to obtain your visa to enter Japan. For these reasons, I do recommend you to apply for the MEXT (Monbukagakusho) scholarship. Once selected, you can take a language course (6 months) for free on campus, entrance and tuition fee are waived, and you will obtain monthly stipend.

Post-doc Positions

My laboratory is looking for a postdoc with expertise in

  • programming languages (preferably Java and Cpp), and
  • at least one of chemometrics, molecular biology, analytical chemistry, or bioinformatics.
If you are self-supported, you are always welcome. If you come from outside of Japan, please try applying for any of the follows.
  • RIKEN Foreign Postdoctoral Researcher Program (FPR site)
  • JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship (JSPS site)
  • JST Sakigake Program (JST site)
