How to Apply

To conduct your research with DPRI, there are two ways to apply. One is to apply to Kyoto University Graduate Schools to become a master's or doctoral (degree seeking) student and then be assigned to one of the DPRI laboratories. The other is to apply to DPRI to become a research student (kenkyusei) or short-term international student (both non-degree seeking status).

Apply to Kyoto University Graduate Schools

DPRI hosts graduate students enrolled in the Graduate School of Science, Graduate School of Engineering and Graduate School of Informatics. Although, those who wish to enroll as master’s or doctoral student must pass the entrance examination of the relevant graduate department, we strongly recommend to consult with a DPRI faculty about your research in a laboratory of your choice.
