You're welcome!

Anyone wanna start a discord channel or text group about this? I’m considering going back to school for a computer science degree and it doesn’t seem like a half bad idea for me at least to do it overseas

[@soumilmudalagi5095]

Yeahh i totally agree on it

[@Naftahia]

Can i study software engineering in English? For undergrad

[@kickujee]

For masters also same process aaaa

[@globalscholarships]

It's basically the same process, you need to go to the university website and find information there on how to apply

[@Jammrs]

do they offer any engineering courses for undergrad?

[@user-op5wl1in9r]

Yes they do

[@bouchentoufothman7264]

what about the graduate programs? are they taught in english? is there a masters degree in data science ?

[@globalscholarships]

Hi! Check out this page titled "Degree Programs Offered in English for Graduate Students": www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/en/prospective-students/graduate_course_list.html

[@shivareddykancharla8664]

Does tokyo university provides bachelor's in computer science course and is it possible to join tokyo university through SAT examination

[@globalscholarships]

They do offer computer science, but it is in Japanese. You'll need to be proficient in Japanese.

[@MississippiWolf_]

May I ask what does "Grades and other records from educational institutions from which the applicants graduated" mean?

[@rae7080]

Like highschool, city colleges, universities I assume

[@MississippiWolf_]

@@rae7080 ok thanks!

[@globalscholarships]

Yes, high school, universities that you’ve graduated from

[@strongmotivationalwording5122]

I wanted to study an agricultural course i have tried my best to get admission this is almost 3 years trial for university of tokyo i haven't get admission from Nigeria 😮😢😢😢

[@globalscholarships]

Have you applied and got an rejection? If so, that means your application is lacking in some aspect

[@user-zw8jp5dy3s]

Is architecture course for undergraduates taught in English?

[@globalscholarships]

No, for bachelors, no

[@abbas9361]

I heard some rumours that Japanese universities are very easy while their highschool is hard and that their undergrad programs don't make you learn much. Is that true for UTokyo or does UTokyo have a good undergrad program for going into the faculty of science. Is the course rigor good?

[@globalscholarships]

I can't speak for all Japanese universities, but UTokyo has excellent STEM fields. It's basically Ivy League of Japan and has produced multiple Nobel Laureates (multiple from just one university!). Japan has very good basic science programs in general.

[@shaikhsaifulislam7379]

Can I study graphics design in Tokyo University in english?

[@globalscholarships]

Don’t think so, at least for bachelors

[@user-wh7wu8gj7w]

so I am confused about What is peak. I mean does that allow u to choose ur preferered subjects ?

[@globalscholarships]

PEAK is an international college at the University of Tokyo that teaches in English. So, they have different majors you can choose from and so, you can only choose from those majors

[@all_ost_songs]

Dear can you provide information for me I want to get admission as a transfer programs student in BS mechanical engineering?

[@globalscholarships]

Hello, I don’t know about transfer admissions, only freshman admissions I know since it’s available on the website. For transfer, you should contact the university itself

[@kurumiNGNL]

Can I study computer science in Tokyo university in english?

[@globalscholarships]

I believe computer science courses are not offered in English according to their pages: www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/en/prospective-students/graduate_course_list.html and www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/en/prospective-students/undergraduate_english.html

[@globalscholarships]

Actually, not quite same as computer science, but they do offer graduate degrees on " Intelligent Information Processing" Please see this link: www.i.u-tokyo.ac.jp/edu/course/cs/admission_e.shtml

[@yum.47]

hi, i'm starting to university this year and i was wondering if i can still apply to japanese universities in a different field than here

[@globalscholarships]

You can apply as a freshman, I don’t see any problem with that. If you want to transfer though, that’s probably difficult to do especially transferring to a different field

[@joisaita6522]

Hello, do you perhaps have any idea when PEAK applications will opened in 2024 again? A reply would really help.

[@globalscholarships]

Applications for PEAK is from November to December

[@samoloyede952]

Are there any other entries apart from sept 2024 because application for that has closed since dec 2023

[@globalscholarships]

Yes, you can see the latest deadlines here: globalscholarships.com/institutions/university-of-tokyo/#deadline. Right now, the uni hasn't updated their deadlines, but you can find the latest deadlines there. It looks like the deadline is from Nov to December of each year.

[@fiorellam.7680]

Do I need a TOEFL certificate to apply for a master's program?

[@globalscholarships]

For English programs, yes, you need. If Japanese, no

[@shifashaikh1712]

I cant see the programs they offer at UTokyo for undergraduate,can you tell me the programs they offer for undergraduate students?

[@globalscholarships]

Hey, here you can see the programs they offer in both English and in Japanese (pages for Japanese programs appear to be in Japanese); www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/adm/inbound/en/programs-admissions-u.html

[@rodrigo_nieto]

Hi, I just wanna know if I can apply to UTokyo one year (3º or 4º year) if my university doesn't have any agreement with UTokyo (I'm in 1º year).

[@phdslasher8846]

same here lol

[@rodrigo_nieto]

They still don't answer me :(

[@globalscholarships]

Sorry for my late reply. I’m not sure about transfer students. You might have to start over again if your credits don’t transfer. The best place to ask is the university officials

[@butterdragonzz8268]

I saw on some pages that for tradational undergraduate programs, you need to be proficient in japanese before enrollment. Does a student need to be profficient in japanese before giving the entry test and getting accepted by the university or after they are accepted the student can learn japanese in one of the japanese language schools and then enroll in the University?

[@globalscholarships]

Hello, you need to be proficient in Japanese. If you are not, you can enroll in their language programs for 1 year and then apply for admissions.

[@serenowsky1284]

@@globalscholarships Hello! Is PEAK a one-year program you can enroll in and then change to a different major (particularly physics) in the following years, or are you describing something else?

[@nehna3270]

Is astrophysics course for bachelors taught in english?

[@globalscholarships]

Astrophysics isn’t part of PEAK program so I think it’s taught in Javanese

[@liveatease433]

Can i study Psychology in English at the universuty of Tokyo

[@globalscholarships]

For undergraduate, according to this page www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/en/prospective-students/undergraduate_english.html, no, it looks like psychology is not in the list of programs that are taught in English.

[@alzhannaaybek4341]

Hello! Do I need SAT to accept to UTokyo?

[@alexz7047]

I highly doubt they mandate the SAT as this is an American test. If you have a good score it could help your odds but they most likely won't force you to take it.

[@globalscholarships]

You don’t need it, but if you have a god score, it will definitely help you. Same goes with A levels, IB, AP, ACT

Hello. I checked the site and I'm a little bit confused. For the eligibility for GSC program it requires the student already be a university student. Does this mean I have to be an exchange student?

[@globalscholarships]

Isn’t Global Science Course an exchange program for current UTokyo students? If so, yes, you have to be current student there

[@RinRin-rl4kx]

@@globalscholarships oh so its for the specialized years part of the undegrad curriculum? Cuz the first two years of undergraduate is for liberal arts and the remaining years is a specialized course, right? So the GSC program is for that?

[@globalscholarships]

Hmmm, I think GSC is something else. You might be thinking of PEAk program

[@RinRin-rl4kx]

@@globalscholarships yeahh sorry I got a bit confused.. oh another question, would UTokyo allow international students to take a japanese undergrad course if they were fluent in Japanese?

[@globalscholarships]

Yes, if they have enough proficiency in Japanese, they can take courses in Japanese

[@larrysmellbutts2002]

Hello, just want to make sure that if I can do a foreign exchange to this university from Dutch universities? I checked and I think Utrecht university and one other have programs for here, but they don’t specify which ones. I want to study biomedicine, so if they have partnership, can I just do biomedicine without any specific program for it? I’m like N5 in Japanese so I’d have to do it in English

[@globalscholarships]

Hi! Unfortunately I don't have much information on student exchange but I believe you can see the partnered institutions here: dir.u-tokyo.ac.jp/SysKyotei/01/kyoutei/search
