- Selection methods
20-minute interview test composed of questions based on submitted
essay as well as questions related with biological sciences
of student's major and English proficiency. To better prepare
yourself for the interview, it will be ideal if you can review
textbooks commonly used in biological courses, especially those
focusing on molecular biology and biochemistry. In the English
proficiency test, you are asked to translate English sentences
into Japanese. You are also tested on your understanding of
sentence patterns and vocabulary which is required to read scientific
papers. In addition, international students are tested on their
level of Japanese proficiency to determine whether they are
able to follow lessons conducted in Japanese.
