University of Tokyo Research
Internship Program (UTRIP)
UTRIP, the “University of Tokyo Research Internship Program,”
is an intensive summer research program targeting undergraduate
students. Its underlying principles are centered on creating
a challenging and rewarding experience for undergraduate
students who are seriously thinking of pursuing advanced
study at a higher education institute. During the program, the
participants receive intensive guidance and hands-on experience
on conducting research from the school’s renowned
faculty members. Students develop a better understanding of
what is required to become a scientific researcher. It will be a
good trial for students to test their aptitude for rigorous study
in the natural sciences. Students who are given high evaluation
by the faculty members will be given priority for the school’s
scholarship. They also have a chance to visit historical sites in
Japan and take Japanese language courses.
Special and Short-term Programs
The program has the following features:
a. Participants will be able to:
i. Raise a research question, and find a scientific problem:
ii. Apply basic principles and knowledge found in the literature
related to the research questions:
iii. Collect, interpret, and critique data in order to resolve a
research question.
b. Participants will have an opportunity to get involved in research
at the cutting-edge of natural science.
For prospective students, the program will be an opportunity
to clarify their future goals and explore graduate student life
at the University of Tokyo through discussion with graduate
students at the school.

International Alliance of
Research Universities
Global Summer Program
(IARU-GSP)
The International Alliance of Research Universities (IARU)
Global Summer Program (GSP) is a selection of intensive
short courses hosted by the member universities of IARU.
IARU is a collaboration between ten of the world’s leading
research-intensive universities who share similar visions for
higher education, in particular the education of future leaders.
The GSP courses are designed for students from the IARU
member institutions to learn together and form an international
community of young scholars and to learn from and about each
other. These courses are in line with IARU’s commitment to
grooming future leaders of nation and industries.
The GSP offers the opportunity to live and learn intensively
at a foreign university through various formal and informal settings
during its residential program from professors who are
both researchers and teachers and from the interaction with
students from the other universities.
