The accommodation assignment is subject to change, based on availability. The dormitory is optional and you can choose whether you move into the dormitory or not during the enrollment procedure. However, if you did not move into the dormitory when you started your university course, it would be deemed that you have waived your right to a room.

For those who choose to live in private accommodation, the university will provide information through the Housing Office's website.

The number of PEAK graduates are gradually accumulating over the years and they are very successful. Please check the PEAK Graduates Data page for detailed statistics.

Currently, other courses are only offered in Japanese. We have a different screening for those courses, and applicants will be required to take entrance examinations in Japanese in Japan. For details, please visit the following website and contact them for further inquiry.

Usually the new Application Guidelines are released on our website in July every year. Until the new updated version is uploaded, please read the old Application Guidelines to have an idea of the flow.

We have two screenings; the first screening, which is a document review, and the second screening, which is an interview. Applicants selected from the first screening will proceed to the second screening. At the interview, the applicant may be asked to provide written answers to questions provided by the interviewers. Additionally, Environmental Sciences applicants will be required to take an online mathematics examination before the interview. Please refer to the Application Guidelines about the application process.

Generally, we only approve the examinations listed in Appendix 1 of the Application Guidelines for PEAK entrance screening. For other examinations or qualifications, we would determine on an individual basis, so please contact us through Contact Us by the designated deadline.

We do not release acceptance rates. However, there is some data that you may refer to on our PEAK Admission Statistics page.

Offers of the scholarships, which are all merit-based, will be made at the same time of admission decision. However, depending on the availability, we may be able to offer scholarships after that.
