While you are free to contact
potential supervisors directly
regarding their research fields, it is
often better to consult with your
university advisor and seek an
introduction through her or him to a
Keio professor that is best suited to
your research interests.
Alternatively, you may also find it
helpful to review academic journals
and other resources open to the public
in order to find a potential Keio
supervisor. International Center would
not introduce any professors to you.
Please note that Keio University only
has an English based course at the
graduate schools of Science and
Technology,
Media and Governance, Media Design,
and System Design and Management. The applicant
who seeks to obtain a degree at the
Graduate Schools other than these
Graduate Schools is required to have a
native level Japanese knowledge, since
the entrance examination and all the
courses are in Japanese. Although the MEXT provides a 6-month language
training period, this will not be
enough to prepare for the entrance
examination if you are a Japanese
beginner.
3. After screening your documents,
the International Center contact the
faculty based on "Information Form" to
issue a letter of acceptance. This
acceptance letter will be sent to the
address provided in your Information
Form. Please note that Keio University
does not guarantee that a letter of
acceptance will be sent to every
applicant. In the event an acceptance
letter cannot be issued, the
International Center will inform the
applicant through the email address
provided in the Information Form.
4. Finally, it is the Monbukagakusho, that is, a Japanese
government agency, that determines
university placement. Neither the
applicant nor Keio University has
authority to make this decision or
influence its outcome. Additionally, a
Letter of Acceptance does not, of
itself, guarantee an assignment to
Keio University.
