English-based Program (International Graduate Program) IGP

The International Graduate Programs on Advanced Science and Technology (IGP) were initiated by the Graduate School of Science and Technology in 2003, enabling international students without Japanese ability to earn Master’s and doctoral degrees at Keio. All academic affairs, including admission, lectures, research guidance, thesis writing and thesis defense, are conducted in English, although students do have the opportunity to study Japanese language and culture. The lectures in these programs are also open to enrollment by Japanese students, providing an international atmosphere for study and research.

Curriculum

Seven programs are available for the master’s degree candidate in the International Graduate Program of the Graduate School of Science and Technology. Each student must select lecture courses and conduct research under the supervision of a research advisor in one of the following programs.

After completing the master’s program, students have the option of either graduating with a master’s degree or advancing to the Ph.D. program.

Notice

Before submitting your application, please contact your prospective research advisor to discuss your plans thoroughly. A research advisor must be selected from the list of faculty who are qualified for this role. Applicants who have failed to do this prior to submitting their applications have a much smaller chance of acceptance.
