Thank you for your interest in our laboratory. This page is a summary of how to join Shimizu Lab for international students.
感谢您对我们团队的关注。本页是关于如何作为研究生加入我们团队的总结。
We accept students of various specialties as long as they have enough funding to cover their studies in Japan. International students who lives outside JAPAN must become a government-sponsored student (see MEXT page) or obtain other similar fellowship before applying to our lab. If you need ‘Letter of Provisional Acceptance’, please first contact to our International Student Support Unit (fssu@ml.tmd.ac.jp).
Students who live in JAPAN should have sufficient Japanese language proficiency (JLPT N1 level) before applying to our lab. In this case, you should show your Japanese skills. Please contact us in Japanese, and the interview will be held in (mostly) Japanese. The only exception is that, if you have previous expertise in our field and can speak in English, you may potentially be accepted to join our team.
