Applications for admission to the 2013 intake are now open.
The deadline for international applicants is midnight November 15, 2012.
The Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) Graduate University
is now accepting applications for admission to the PhD program for the
September 2013 intake. We are looking across the globe for students who will
flourish in an atmosphere of encouragement for discovery and innovation. Our
intake is limited to about 20 students per year, and we aim to recruit
excellent students. All students receive an internationally competitive
support package and subsidized on-campus housing.
With over half of our students and faculty coming from outside Japan, OIST
offers the highest level of graduate education while embedded in a truly
international environment. About 50 cutting-edge laboratories conducting
research in a range of fields form the hub of the OIST Graduate University.
Based on a firm foundation in the basic sciences, we promote education that
is highly interdisciplinary. The graduate program features interactive
teaching with tutorial-style courses providing preparation for thesis
research. Program design is customised to the unique needs of individual
students. From the beginning, students work side by side with world-class
faculty and researchers in well-equipped laboratories.
Finally, let me give you a brief introduction of our PhD program. The
application procedure is very similar to universities in the States.
Approximately 20 students will be admitted each year. Every successful
applicant will receive a competitive studentship package.
