Description
The Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST)
Graduate University is now accepting applications for admission to the PhD
program for the September 2016 intake. We are looking across the globe for
students who will flourish in an atmosphere of encouragement for discovery and
innovation. With over half of OIST students and faculty coming from
outside Japan, OIST offers the highest level of graduate education while
embedded in a truly international environment. About 50 cutting-edge
laboratories conducting research in a range of fields form the hub of the OIST
Graduate University. Based on a firm foundation in the basic sciences, we
promote education that is highly interdisciplinary. The graduate program
features interactive teaching with tutorial-style courses providing
preparation for thesis research. Course design is customised to the unique
needs of individual students. From the beginning, students work side by side
with world-class faculty and researchers in well-equipped laboratories.
Eligibility
To be eligible for the OIST Graduate Program, you must have
completed a BSc, MSc or equivalent degree or expect to do so prior to the
admission date.
Costs
All students receive an internationally competitive support
package, health insurance, and subsidized on-campus housing.
There is no application fee to apply for the OIST Graduate
Program.
Application
Students may submit an application at any time. Shortlisted
candidates will be invited to an admissions workshop held at OIST as part of
the selection process.
To arrange travel for particular workshops, applications
must be received before certain cut-off dates, which are earlier for students
who need a visa to enter Japan.
For a list of countries for which a visa is NOT required,

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan Exemption of Visa (Short-Term Stay) page.
