To Foreign Students Who Wish to Join Our Research Group as Master students, PhD students, or Research Students

Do not write to us immediately; Follow the procedures below.

• Check first the home page of our graduate school for formal procedures required for entering the graduate school.
• Then read the home page of our research group to check whether your research interest matches ours. Then, read at least one or two research papers, to see whether you have enough background to understand them.
• Learn the admission fee, tuition, and average living cost in Japan, and check whether you can afford to pay them. If not, find scholarship (e.g., the Japanese Government Scholarship) by yourself.
• Only if you are sure that you are interested enough in our research area, have enough background knowledge, and have enough financial support, write to us. To certify that you have read this page and followed the procedures, include "[valid application]" in the subject of the message. Note that we receive a lot of spam-like messages that only say "I am interested in xxx. May I enroll the graduate school?" Those kinds of messages will be regarded as spams and just ignored. If you are really interested in studying in our group, write which of our research topics interested you, and what kind of research you'd like to conduct in our group. Use specific terms, rather than general terms like "programming" and "software."
