This page introduces summer programs organized by partner institutions of the University of Tokyo and world-class universities. The information will be updated as it becomes available.
※Please contact the host university directly for any inquiries regarding the program
(Note)
・Please carefully review the instructions on the Direct Application Programs page before submitting your application.
(Feature)
・The programs are different from The University of Tokyo Short-Term Summer Study Abroad Programs administered by the Center for Global Education which usually starts accepting applications around April every year. They are programs where you can participate with students from around the world.
・It is common for university students around the world to apply directly to the host institution and participate in short-term programs during their holidays. By handling the procedures themselves, students can avoid agency fees, which helps reduce participation costs. Additionally, this fosters decision-making and initiative, improves language skills, and enhances understanding of the local education system and culture.
・Because the programs are organized by our university's partner institutions and there is an expectation for outstanding students from UTokyo to participate, there may be discounts or participation fee subsidies available for UTokyo students.
・For summer programs, some begin accepting applications as early as the fall of the year before, with deadlines as early as March. Additionally, depending on the program, there may be options to apply up until a few weeks before the start, or programs may close once they reach capacity.
(Scholarship)
・Direct applicants to the program who meet the requirements are eligible to apply for scholarships such as the 'Go Global Scholarships Short (3 months-1 year) / S-Short (less than 3 months) Study Abroad Scholarships' For more details, please refer to the scholarship page on this website.
