Hi everyone, it's global scholarships
0:01
and I'm your host as I hope you're all
0:03
doing well. I hope everything is going
0:05
great and today we'll see the
0:06
application procedure of University of
0:08
Tokyo. Now don't hate me but this is the
0:12
application procedure for a specific
0:14
program in University of Tokyo.
0:15
University of Tokyo accepts applications
0:18
from international students in three
0:20
different programs. Um one is for
0:23
Japanese programs and the application
0:25
procedure is in Japanese. So I cannot
0:27
really make a tutorial for that since I
0:29
don't know any Japanese and they used to
0:31
have something called peak but
0:33
apparently they are kind of ending it.
0:35
So there's also something called a
0:37
global science course and today we're
0:39
going to see the application procedure
0:40
for that and I'm going to talk about
0:43
that in a second but first let's start.
0:45
As always, you can just start by
0:47
googling the name of the university or
0:49
you can do what I do and Google the name
0:51
of the university with global
0:52
scholarships.com which will take you to
0:55
our page for this university. Uh we are
0:57
global scholarships as you can see this
0:59
is a free website for like a ton of
1:01
information completely free. There is no
1:04
uh like pricing there is no u
1:06
registration or anything like that.
1:08
[clears throat] Of course it's in Tokyo
1:10
uh about 30,000 people. There are some
1:13
scholarships here. You can look into
1:15
merit scholarships. I think we've made
1:18
videos for quite a number of these
1:20
scholarships. We have a mixed Japanese
1:23
government scholarships. Uh we have some
1:25
people who have earned scholarships in
1:26
the this university. You can read about
1:28
those as well. So, [clears throat] oh
1:30
yeah, we also have one every scholarship
1:32
at University of Tokyo video. Although
1:35
it has been a while since we've done
1:37
that, so might have been changed a
1:39
little bit. Anyway, here we are the
1:40
tition fees. And if you have any
1:42
questions, you can just leave them here
1:44
in the comment section. And as you can
1:45
see, Hi, the founder of global
1:47
scholarships, he answers all of them.
1:49
Anyway, so [clears throat]
1:52
we'll start by clicking on bachelors
1:54
here uh to go and see their
1:56
international students admission page.
1:58
So one enrolling in undergraduate degree
2:00
programs offered in Japanese. So this is
2:03
just normal programs. The application
2:05
procedure is in Japanese. You can click
2:08
here traditional undergraduate programs
2:10
in Japanese and as you can see general
2:12
screen test uh Japanese as the majority
2:15
of the courses in the traditional
2:17
undergraduate programs are taught in
2:18
Japanese. A high level of proficiency in
2:20
Japanese is required and the information
2:22
for both admissions processes accessible
2:25
from the below links is available only
2:28
in Japanese. You can click on any one of
2:29
these and if you don't know any Japanese
2:33
you won't be able to do much here. And
2:35
then they have undergraduate degree
2:37
programs offered in English. Here they
2:40
have something called peak programs in
2:42
English at Ka Kumaba. These are like
2:44
different programs. And then something
2:46
called global science course or GSC.
2:48
This is the one we're going to apply to
2:50
today. Now I'm going to click on this
2:53
one. Undergraduate degree programs
2:55
offered in English. As you can see, peak
2:57
admission to peak will end with fall
3:00
2026 enrollment. You can click here to
3:02
read the details. Basically they used to
3:05
accept people for this program uh but
3:08
they will end it now. Now now the only
3:11
application the only program that is in
3:13
English that you can apply to is GSC is
3:16
an all English undergraduate transfer
3:18
program. So in a way that's kind of bad
3:21
because you cannot right now apply to it
3:23
but good because you can just apply to a
3:25
university in your country study 2 years
3:28
complete your first two years and then
3:30
apply for a transfer transfer program
3:33
and then transfer to uh University of
3:35
Tokyo under GSC transfer students who
3:37
have completed at least two years of
3:39
undergraduate studies at universities
3:41
outside of Japan are admitted into the
3:43
third year third in the faculty of
3:46
science upon fulfilling all graduate
3:48
ation requirements. Students are awarded
3:50
a bachelor of science degree from U
3:52
Tokyo. So even if you finish your first
3:56
two years in a university in your own
3:58
country, you can apply to this program,
4:00
study in English.
4:02
And when you finish your second two
4:04
years, then you graduate as a University
4:08
of Tokyo student. All JC transport
4:10
students receive a monthly scholarship
4:13
of of 150,000 Japanese yen, which
4:16
translates to about $1,000.
4:19
Accommodation provided with fully
4:21
supported monthly rent. Even though
4:22
Tokyo is quite expensive, I believe like
4:25
when accommodation is provided about
4:28
$1,000, the monthly scholarship would be
4:31
enough to cover your living costs and
4:33
support from student tutors at TAS. and
4:36
then GC GSC admissions are here. So
4:39
we're going to see that here we have
4:40
eligibility education abroad postsecary
4:43
education science background. So the
4:45
thing is as of this moment they're only
4:48
accepting applications to the chemistry
4:50
program but I'm hoping that they will
4:53
kind of like widen it maybe some other
4:55
programs as well. Uh otherwise this is
4:58
pretty much just a tutorial for applying
5:00
to chemistry in your third year to
5:03
University of Tokyo. Credit eligibility
5:05
English language as you can see we have
5:07
TOEFL or ILTS you have to have one of
5:10
these at least and this is the
5:12
eligibility here as you can see this is
5:14
the transfer program here we have
5:15
eligibility we have schedule uh cost and
5:18
aid you can also read about that tuition
5:21
we have admission fee we have tuition we
5:23
have scholarship again every uh student
5:26
who are accepted to this get that
5:28
scholarship we have schedule here as you
5:30
can see and then we have apply
5:32
application period period period is
5:34

5:37

5:55
background. We're going to fill in those
5:56
in a second. Evaluation, paying the
5:59
application fee, required documents,
6:01
etc., etc. Then you click here to apply.
6:04
And here we are in the application
6:06
section. Again, I'm hoping that in the
6:08
future, for example, in one year, uh you
6:11
will be able to use this tutorial and
6:13
this page to be able to apply to
6:15
programs other than chemistry.
6:16
Hopefully. Okay, we have personal
6:18
information. So, I'm going to now give
6:19
them some like madeup information. Don't
6:21
worry, this is just for demonstration
6:23
purposes. In the end, I'm not going to
6:25
send them the application anyway. Email
6:27
address. I'm going to give them a
6:29
temporary email address. Okay.
6:31
Educational background. Please list all
6:34
secondary, junior and high school from
6:36
7th grade to 11th grade and postsecary
6:39
minimum two years of university
6:40
educational institutions you have
6:42
attended. So, so first the secondary
6:45
this is high school but uh basically
6:47
okay four years. Now I'm going to go
6:49
through uh first two years of our
6:52
university with major uh name of
6:54
department number okay so details of
6:58
institution details of study obviously
7:00
again these are made up uh but you have
7:02
to make sure that everything is correct
7:04
in your application make sure like from
7:07
uh the department number to like grading
7:09
scale etc etc and then we have English
7:12
language qualifications then we have
7:14
personal statement and additional
7:16
information let's type in thing uh make
7:19
sure that your personal statement and
7:21
additional information is like correct
7:23
and personal. Uh don't use the same
7:26
personal statement to send to a lot of
7:29
universities etc. Uh provide a personal
7:32
statement in English. And then we have
7:34
evaluation. Please provide the contact
7:36
information of two of your academic
7:38
evaluators from your current university.
7:40
Uh one professor uh and one professor,
7:43
associate professor or assistant
7:45
professor or equivalent. Okay. So here
7:47
we have please check the box below if
7:49
you agree to wave your right to access
7:52
to view review the evaluation. Basically
7:54
this is so uh some universities ask you
7:57
to do that because it is a document that
8:00
kind of like that is associated with
8:02
your application. So normally you have
8:04
the right to review all the documents in
8:06
your application but universities
8:08
specifically ask you to to to wave your
8:11
right to review like evaluations so that
8:14
they know uh the evaluations will be
8:16
candid. So like professors will not
8:18
think of you reviewing documents and
8:20
reading their evaluation letters so they
8:22
can be free and just like candidly
8:25
actually express their opinions of you.
8:28
So it is always a good idea to do this.
8:31
Some universities kind of ask you to do
8:33
so and sometimes also professors ask you
8:36
to do so and some professors will not
8:38
want to evaluate you unless you wave the
8:41
right to review the evalation. Then we
8:43
have required documents must be
8:45
submitted as PDF formats should not
8:47
exceed 3 megabytes. Multiple page
8:49
transcripts must be scanned into one
8:51
file. If you wish to replace the upload
8:54
document simply upload a new document as
8:56
it will replace the old one. We have
8:58
official secondary school transcript,
9:00
official secondary school standardized
9:02
exam results, official university
9:04
transcript, enrollment verification
9:06
certificate, course syllabus, u
9:08
mathematics, physics, of course, the
9:10
first is chemistry since this is a
9:12
chemistry course. Uh copy of passport,
9:14
application fee, payment received which
9:16
you can get from um here in the apply
9:19
page. Remember we have seen this one.
9:22
Pay application fee. You can click on
9:24
that and go and pay the application fee.
9:27
Here you can read your terms etc etc. Uh
9:30
let's say agree. University of Tokyo GSA
9:34
undergraduate transfer program. This is
9:36
the application period. University of
9:38
Tokyo. That's it. Okay. I I guess
9:41
undergraduate faculty of science global
9:43
science course. It's about 10,000
9:46
Japanese yen which is about $60. Uh you
9:49
can add it to basket here. And then
9:52
let's click on next. Uh and then visa,
9:55
birth date, applicant's name, telephone
9:58
number, uh email, and when you do that,
10:01
you'll probably go and need to give your
10:04
credit card information uh because you
10:06
can pay through your credit card, which
10:08
is again about $60. And then you'll get
10:10
a receipt, uh which you can upload here.
10:14
And then academic status checklist, you
10:16
can click here to get that as well.
10:18
Student information, academic status,
10:20
credit system, credit hours, etc. Yeah.
10:23
So I'm going to upload something random
10:24
here for all of these. But make sure
10:26
that your documents are in order and
10:29
everything is right. And then you can
10:31
also click here to see uh the guideline
10:34
section of uh required documents as well
10:36
uh for every one of them. Anyway, I've
10:38
uploaded something. And then we have
10:40
declaration. All personal information
10:42
submitted to University of Tokyo is
10:44
appropriately managed in compliance with
10:46
the you get the idea, right? And then
10:49
signature of applicant date. And then
10:52
when you click on confirm, your
10:53
application is done. This is as far as
10:55
I'm going to go because I don't want to
10:57
send them a fake application. But
10:59
normally what would happen in other uh
11:02
applications is that when you submit you
11:04
would be redirected to a page where you
11:06
have to pay the application fee. That
11:08
doesn't happen here because we've
11:10
already remember paid the application
11:12
fee and uploaded the receipt here. So
11:14
when we click on this, it is done and
11:17
your application is sent. Anyway, again
11:20
this is unfortunately not a tutorial for
11:23
applying to all the programs in
11:25
university because some of them are in
11:27
Japanese. I cannot do that and the other
11:30
uh they've kind of ended. So this is the
11:33
best I could do right best I can do
11:34
right now. If you have any suggest
11:37
suggestions like maybe you should try to
11:39
do this maybe make a tutorial about that
11:42
etc etc just feel free to leave them in
11:43
the comment section. Other than that
11:45
that's pretty much it for today. Uh, I
11:48
hope you found this video informative
11:50
and hopefully again in the future it
11:52
will be more useful if they add other
11:55
programs as well. Other than that,
11:57
that's pretty much it and see you in the
11:59
next one. Bye.
