For Graduate Study

Admission Information

There are two ways to pursue your graduate study in Arita Laboratory. Only the Japanese names of the Ph. D. degree are different, and 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.
• Department of Biophysics and Biochemistry, Graduate School of Science, The Univ of Tokyo
  • The entrance exam is basically molecular biology and biochemistry.

Since my background is computer science, I think Frontier Sciences is much easier to enter.

奨学金

For international students, scholarship is absolutely necessary. Without any financial aid, it is almost 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. Please consult with your local Japan Embassy for the selection information.

• Study in Japan Homepage
• ILO of our graduate school (visa, scholarship etc.)
