OVERVIEW OF GRADUATE PROGRAM 

The University of Tokyo is a national institution for 

higher education and research, comprising a College 

of Arts and Sciences, ten Faculties, fifteen Graduate 

Schools with fifteen Divisions including the Graduate 

school of Engineering, and eleven Research Institutes. 

It is a leading institution, and the oldest Japanese 

university. The total number of students enrolled at 

present is about 28,000. 

The graduate program at the Department of Civil 

Engineering offers advanced professional training 

leading to the degrees of Master of Engineering and 

Doctor of Philosophy (Civil Engineering). The 

Department does not offer, in principle, non-degree 

programs or research fellowship. The fields of study 

include : 

• Bridge and Structure; 

• Coastal Engineering; 

• Concrete Engineering; 

• Construction Management /Infrastructure 

Systems; 

• Earthquake Engineering; 

• Geotechnical Engineering; 

• Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering;

The graduate program includes specially designed 

courses for international students, in which class 

instruction and research supervision are given in 

English and/or Japanese. Master's thesis and doctoral 

dissertation are accepted in English. Japanese language 

courses are also offered for international students and 

their spouses. 

Currently, the number of international students 

registered in this program is close to ninety, which is 

comparable to that of Japanese graduate students of 

the department. Students come from more than twenty 

different countries in five continents. Most of them are 

on full scholarship grants. 

Most students from abroad enroll in October, when the 

fall-winter semester starts. The spring-summer 

semester commences in April, which is also the 

beginning of the Japanese academic year. 

Research achievements of graduate students and 

faculty members are regularly published in renowned 

national and international journals. The department 

compiles reprints in an annual volume of Collected 

Papers, which is distributed to major universities 

worldwide. The department also publishes an annual

ADMISSION OF FOREIGN STUDENTS 

To be eligible for admission to the Master's course, 

applicants should hold a degree from an accredited 

institution comparable to the bachelor's degree 

offered at the University of Tokyo and have 

sufficient undergraduate training to undertake 

graduate study in civil engineering. For admission 

to the doctoral course, applicants should hold a 

Master's or other equivalent degree comparable to 

that is offered at the University of Tokyo. 

Admission to the Graduate School is granted by the 

Graduate Council of the University upon recommendation 

of the department. The Department of Civil 

Engineering bases its decision on granting the 

recommendation on the applicant's academic 

qualification as indicated in his/her official 

transcripts from the institutions where the applicant 

studied or is studying and letters of recommenddation. 

Other academic achievements, such as 

scholastic honors or prizes are also considered. 

Candidates applying from abroad are not required to 

take entrance examination. However, An applicant 

who has been already studying in Japan must take 

written examinations. 

To be placed on the short list, applicants have to be 

among the top group in academic attainment at few 

most accredited institutions in each country. Since 

the academic level of the program is high and the 

number of international students that can be 

accommodated is limited, only the most qualified 

applicants are admitted. 

The department admits students in October and 

April, when the fall-winter and spring-summer 

semesters begin. However, the entrance 

examinations for admission in either April or 

October are held at the university only once a year, 

in September. Those applicants who are required to 

take the examinations should consult the Entrance 

Examination Desk (gs@civil.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp) well in 

advance. 

Due to high living cost in Japan, the department admits, 

in principle, only those qualified applicants who have a 

sufficient financial support. The department can arrange 

roughly 30 scholarships for its applicants every year. 

Prospective candidates can also apply for scholarships at 

Japanese Embassies in their home countries. Please see 

the section Financial Aid for details. Note that the 

department can arrange scholarships only for those 

applicants hoping to enroll in October. 

Application for Admission 

The following documents must be submitted. 

1. Pre-registration to FSO 

2. Completed application form; 

3. Official certificate of degree or verified copy of 

diploma, and official transcript or marks certificate,

FINANCIAL AID 

Application through Department of 

Civil Engineering 

Through management by the department, scholarships 

for international students are offered by the Japan 

Ministry of Education, Science, Sports Culture and 

Technology (Monbusho), Asian Development Bank 

(ADB) and Inter-America Development Bank (IDB). 

Intention to apply for the scholarship through the 

department must be indicated in the application for 

admission. The department can arrange allocation of 

roughly 15 Monbusho scholarships, and several ADB 

and IDB scholarships. 

A Monbusho scholarship covers monthly expenses 

(approximately 157,000 yen for Master students, 

158,000 yen for Doctoral students) and a round-trip air 

ticket; and the recipient is exempt from entrance fee 

(approximately 310,000 yen) and annual tuition fee 

(approximately 530,000 yen). The privileges of ADB 

and IDB scholarships are basically the same. 

Basic Qualifications for full support 

scholarships 

Since the number of scholarships is limited, the 

department admits only a few students a year from the 

same country. In recommending scholarships, the 

department gives higher priority to younger applicants. 

Under the regulations of the Japan Ministry of 

Education, Science, Sports and Culture, the applicant 

for Monbusho scholarship must be under 35 years of 

age as of April 1 in the year of admission, and must be 

a citizen of a country with diplomatic relations with 

Japan.

Schedule of Selection 

The department will select the candidates for 

admission with scholarship at the end of January, and 

will inform each applicant soon after. 

To candidates recommended for Monbusho scholarship 

(MEXT), the department will send all the 

necessary materials and instructions. Monbusho 

usually makes its final selection of scholars by the 

beginning of July. 

Likewise, candidates for ADB and IDB scholarships 

will be promptly informed by the department. IDB and 

ADB will customarily make their final selections by 

the middle of May and the middle of June, 

respectively. Results will be relayed to applicants as 

soon as the department is notified. 

Application for Monbusho Scholarship 

through Japanese Embassy in 

Applicant's Home Country 

Monbusho scholarships can also be awarded through the 

Japanese Embassy in the applicant's home country on a 

competitive basis. Anyone can apply for the scholarship 

at the Japanese Embassy. No communication with us is 

necessary to apply for the scholarship. 

The local Embassies of Japan usually accept the 

application for the MEXT scholarship around the spring 

time and hold the preliminary examinations between 

June and August. For further information and schedule, 

please contact the Cultural Section at the local Japanese 

Embassies. 

(http://www.mofa.go.jp/about/emb_cons/mofaserv.html) 

Candidates are strongly advised to try obtaining the 

Monbusho scholarship through the Japanese Embassy. 

Competition could be less severe when applying through 

the Embassy than through our department. There were 

many applicants whom we could admit as far as their 

academic qualification was concerned, but we were not 

able to secure scholarships for them. 

Application for Scholarships other than 

MEXT/ADB/IDB 

The Department of Civil Engineering will also accept 

both scholarship recipients other than MEXT/ADB-JSP/ 

JAPAN-IDB if the student obtains a proof of sufficient 

financial support, which is then approved as 

adequate/acceptable by the Department. Please note that 

in order to attend as a graduate student at the 

Department of Civil Engineering an applicant must be in 

receipt of both Department/University academic 

approval and a sponsor's financial approval

NON-ACADEMIC ASSISTANCE 

Tutor and Foreign Students Office 

Japanese Language Class 

The University adopts a system whereby every 

international student is assigned a tutor who can give 

him / her individual extracurricular assistance on 

matters concerning study or research as well as 

university procedures and other formalities. The tutor to 

be assigned is a graduate student who is majoring in the 

same field of study. The foreign students officers of the 

department, who assigns the tutor after consultation 

with the research advisers, may also be approached for 

advice on general matters including housing 

accommodations. 

Housing Accommodations 

A limited number of single rooms and family units in 

private company dormitories and public housing are 

leased to international students upon recommendation 

by the department. The department adopts a waiting list 

system for each type of accommodation, as the number 

of rooms or housing units available through this 

endorsement procedure is uncertain. 

The department started to offer Japanese Language 

courses in April 1982 to help international students 

acquire practical skills in the language. Although 

Japanese capability is not required in the graduate 

study programs, students new to Japan are encouraged 

to take the basic Japanese course to help them enjoy 

everyday life in and out of the university during their 

stay in Japan. 

Basic Japanese is a six-month course which meets 

twelve hours per week. This course aims at developing 

basic skills in speaking and listening as well as in 

reading and writing Japanese. In addition, more 

advanced courses such as Japanese Conversation and 

Reading are offered. Spouses of students are also 

welcome to enroll in these courses. 

The courses start in October and April each year after 

the arrival of new students. These courses are given by 

instructors qualified to teach Japanese as a foreign 

language. Parties and speech meetings are occasionally 

held in addition to the regular classes. The Japanese 

class also serves as a place for social interaction and 

occasionally for personal counseling for international 

students. 

The University of Tokyo also offers 

various services to support the 

international students.
