Join as a Graduate Student
To pursue graduate studies at IMS, you enroll in the Molecular Science Course of SOKENDAI (The Graduate University for Advanced Studies). SOKENDAI is a graduate university based at national research institutions across Japan, and you can earn master's and doctoral degrees while conducting your research at IMS. Entrance exams are held twice a year (summer and winter), and students from all universities are welcome. IMS is one of Japan's leading national research institutions in molecular science, where you benefit from cutting-edge equipment, researchers from diverse fields, and close mentoring in a small-group setting.
❯Generous Financial Support
Through the Research Assistant (RA) program, graduate students can receive an annual salary of approximately 1.30 to 2.70 million yen starting from the master's program (100% acceptance rate). This allows students to focus on their research without financial concerns.
