Admission information: Because of the capacity, our laboratory will not accept IGP(C) master students (April 2020 admission). Our laboratory can accept excellent IGP(C) doctoral students (April 2020 admission), and excellent MEXT scholarship students selected by the Japanese embassy in your country. We still have not decided about IGP(A) students (September 2020 admission). It will be announced later. Please keep in mind that the entrance exams of IGP(A) and IGP(C) are competitive.
