The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT, Monbukagakusho) of Japan offers scholarships to international students who wish to study in graduate courses at Japanese universities as “Research Students” (either regular students or non-regular students) under the Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholarship Program.

Generally, MEXT students of Embassy Recommendation will belong to the university as non-regular students. In order to become regular degree students of MA or PhD courses, MEXT students need to apply and pass the entrance examinations of their desired graduate school during the period as non-regular students.

The designated period as non-regular students is two years for those who belong to the university from April term (from April to March of the year after the next), and one and a half year for those who belong to the university from October term (from September to March of the year after the next).

Furthermore, non-regular students wishing to advance to a regular degree course in a graduate school as a regular student, or regular students in a master’s or professional graduate course wishing to proceed to a doctoral course, with outstanding academic achievement that meets certain criteria may apply for extension of the scholarship period for advanced study and may have the scholarship period extended upon a successful examination by MEXT.
