How to Apply

How to Apply for Admission to Graduate Programs

1. Locate your future supervisor

Some Graduate Schools may require students to find their academic supervisor prior to applying for Graduate School, but not all. Either way, it is always better to search for the faculty member by whom you wish to be supervised, considering your own research topic. Check the information about the faculty members and then contact the Educational Affairs Section of the relevant Graduate School.

To find the future academic supervisor:
Make use of our Directory of Researchers at Kagawa University, or contact to the Educational Affairs Section of the relevant Graduate School.
