Support

Scholarship

This degree program provides a grant-based scholarship system whereby students can apply for financial support through a selection process. Scholarships are not subject to taxation because they are “tax-exempt income.” Eligibility requirements are specified and certain conditions must be met to qualify for the scholarship. The scholarship amount available is determined on a yearly basis. Note that the scholarship system is operated taking into account the financial and other circumstances of the university in each academic year, and therefore the details are subject to change.

Other support

We have a comprehensive support system that helps students develop their full potential with a particular focus on motivation, an inquisitive mind, and experience.
Note that these systems are operated taking into account the financial and other circumstances of the university in each academic year, and therefore the details are subject to change.

    Support for research activities

    The program provides research grants for interdisciplinary research conducted by students as long as the research is approved by the program. Although the provision of research grants involves a screening evaluation, we believe that overcoming this challenge and passing the screening is a valuable learning experience for students.

    Support for training expenses

    We recommend that students gain a broad range of rich experiences, such as by participating in domestic and international training programs, giving presentations, and undertaking short- and long-term internships. As part of our mission to develop leaders who can play an active role globally, the program offers financial assistance for participation in approved domestic and international training programs and academic conferences.
