The Department of Physics has started a special program to invite selected international students to its Ph.D. program. This is one of the International Priority Graduate Programs (PGP) sponsored by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Sciences and Technology (MEXT). This program has been accepting up to five international students per year, granting successful applicants a stipend to support their living expenses in Japan, a tuition waiver, and other benefits for up to three years.
Purpose of the Program
The goal of this Program is to prepare graduate students to become leading-edge researchers in physics at an international level.
Department of Physics
The University’s Department of Physics is the oldest organization for research and education in physics in Japan. The graduate program conducts research and education in physics at a world-class level. The faculty are members of the core department on the Hongo campus, supplemented by faculty from affiliated institutions such as the Institute of Cosmic Ray Research (ICRR), the Institute of Solid State Physics (ISSP), and the International Center for Elementary Particle Physics (ICEPP). Our program has strong groups of professors in particle physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, general physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Our graduate programs have produced an average of 40 Ph.D. and 100 M.A. graduates per year for the past ten years. The Department has educated many outstanding physicists, including three Nobel Prize laureates: Leo Esaki (1973 Laureate), Masatoshi Koshiba (2002 Laureate), and Yoichiro Nanbu (2008 Laureate).
