Global Science Course Scholarships for Undergraduate Student at Tokyo Japan 2022

0 Shares

The Global Science Course Scholarships are being offered by the University of Tokyo in Japan for undergraduate study beginning in the academic year 2022/2023.

The “Faculty of Science Scholarship” will be granted to all students enrolled to the GSC Undergraduate Transfer Program.

This scholarship will be used to cover the entry fee, yearly tuition costs, and daily living expenses.

Each GSC student will be given a Student Tutor upon arrival.

The tutor will assist students with settling into their new lives in Tokyo, such as registering for housing and creating a bank account.

Students will be assisted by TAs in adjusting to their new academic life at UTokyo, mostly via lab sessions.

For GSC students, a beginner-level Japanese language course is available to assist with day-to-day living in Japan.

In addition to this course, the University offers a variety of Japanese courses at different levels.

While no previous knowledge of Japanese is necessary for admission to GSC, students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the many Japanese language study options available during their time in Japan.
