Who is eligible to apply for Tokyo GP?
Eligible applicants include those meeting TMU graduate program entry requirements: master’s applicants must be enrolled in a bachelor’s program and PhD applicants in a master’s program at a TMU partner institution or a higher education institution in Tokyo’s sister cities or other Asian regions.
