All applicants who wish to enroll in the Graduate School of Advanced Integrated Studies in Human Survivability (GSAIS) must apply to the AAO, except for those who apply to the Graduate School of Informatics in the first stage of the examination. Please note that those who have graduated or are expected to graduate from a foreign university must inquire about their eligibility to apply, even if they are taking the examination for the Graduate School of Informatics.

You must apply to the AAO, contact the faculty member you wish to have as a supervisor, and obtain their signature on the acceptance letter. We recommend that you apply to the AAO as early as possible.

All applicants to the GSAIS must apply to the AAO, even if they have already consulted with a faculty member directly.

You can submit the acceptance letter received by email at the time of application.

First, please contact the AAO to discuss your research plan. If the AAO accepts the proposal, admission will be possible only after passing the general entrance examination. However, it may be difficult to accept a faculty member whose research does not align with your research plan or who does not have a system in place to support you.

If you wish to receive research guidance from a faculty member of the GSAIS, first apply to the AAO and contact the faculty member of your choice. A GSAIS faculty member will advise you on which graduate school and major to apply to, considering your field of specialization.

If you wish to enroll in the GSAIS and study in another graduate school or major within the university during your first two years, you must apply to the GSAIS, take the general entrance examination for the graduate school or major of your choice, and receive a passing grade.

If you wish to enroll in the GSAIS, you may only take the examination for one graduate school or major that you select in the first round of the examination. You cannot apply to more than one graduate school or major.

Please refer to the application guidebook for details on each graduate school.

Currently, there is no special entrance examination for international students. All applicants must take the same general entrance examination. The general entrance examination is primarily conducted in Japanese, but some graduate schools and majors also offer examinations in English.

The first examination must be taken in Japan, except for those graduate schools and majors that allow online examinations. The second examination will only be held in Japan, at the Higashi Ichijo Building of the GSAIS.

Whether or not an oral examination is required in the first round depends on the graduate school and major you are applying to. For details, please refer to the application guidebook for each graduate school.

Please submit the degree certificate, academic transcript and other documents for your bachelor’s degree only. For details, please refer to the application guidebook of the GSAIS.

If you wish to move into the training facility, admission will be decided based on the available quota. If there are too many applicants, the decision will be made according to the results of the entrance examination. However, those who are employed at the time of enrollment are not eligible. Additionally, those who find employment while still enrolled after moving in will be required to move out. For details, please refer to the application guidebook of the GSAIS.
