“Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholarship Students” is the scholarship program offered by the Japanese government. Tokyo Geidai accepts the MEXT scholarship students as Research Students (non-regular students).

Those who wish to study at Tokyo Geidai as the MEXT scholarship students need to apply and pass the first selection conducted by the Japanese embassy/consulate general.

The first selection procedures (application, written exam, and interview) for the MEXT Scholarships are conducted through Japanese embassies, consulates in your countries. Successful candidates are then designated by a MEXT committee after consulting the relevant university.

Those who wish to apply it, please contact the Japanese Embassy or Consulate General in your country. Tokyo Geidai can NOT answer the inquiries about the application form or the deadline for the application.

For those who have been selected as preliminary candidates, please refer to the Admission Information website for further application procedures.

Research students recommended by a Japanese embassy whose Japanese level is deemed insufficient spend 6 months studying the Japanese language, before taking an entrance examination and formally entering a graduate course.

If you wish to be enrolled as a regular degree-seeking student, you must take and pass the entrance examination. Please check the university’s admissions website for details.

※Note※

Due to the global epidemic of the COVID-19, the first selection procedure for 2021 is being conducted three months behind the usual schedule. Please note that the successful candidates for 2021 will arrive in Japan in October 2021 (autumn entrance) only.
