We would like to inform you that the guidelines for the Doctoral Degree Program in Japan for the Japanese Fiscal Year 2013 (enrolment during September 2013-March 2014) has been revised following the concept and strategic plan of the Phase III of AUN/SEED-Net Project (Year 2013-2018).
Firstly, since the Project welcomes new Japanese Supporting Universities (JSUs) in the next phase, in addition to the current 11 JSUs, the prospective applicants from AUN-SEED/Net Member Institutions are able to pursue doctoral degrees in engineering at three new members, namely, Osaka University, Tohoku University, and Nagoya University. (As of 26 October 2012, applicants who would like to apply for the Doctoral Degree at Nagoya University must consult with AUN/SEED-Net in advance before the deadline of the application).
Also, applicants can now apply for the revised 10 engineering fields in Phase III which are; Civil Engineering (CE), Chemical Engineering (ChE), Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE), Environmental Engineering (EnvE), Geological and Geo-resources Engineering (GeoE) , Computer and Information Engineering (CIE), Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (ME/ManuE), Materials Engineering (MatE), Energy Engineering (EneE), Natural Disaster (ND).
For the applicants who have submitted the application, it is not necessary to resubmit it as we also accept the previous version of the application form. And for those who have not submitted the application yet, we have extended the period of application following this revision and the new deadline for the submission of application for the program is Friday 9th November 2012 to International Affairs Office (UPHI) Faculty of Engineering UGM. Please find more detail in the revised guidelines in attachment.
