(6) If a grantee desires to step up to a regular course for a degree from a Research Student non-degree course, in principle, he/she must move on to the graduate school of the university at which he/she is studying as Research Student. If proceeding to the graduate school is deemed to be inappropriate given the grantee's major field or ability, he/she may be allowed to transfer to another graduate school provided that he/she is admitted to enroll in.
Straight out of the application guidlines.

For the entrance examination thing, check with your school that you plan to go to. For University of Tokyo you need to take the entrance exam for embassy MEXT scholarship.

Hi, Barra! I've already linked it once, but I certainly don't mind having it linked twice.
Today I was wondering something .... Has anyone accepted any additional, smaller bursaries or awards while a MEXT recipient?
There are of course a wide array from smaller, one time awards from private sources, your university, and your home government - does anyone have experience applying for those after accepting MEXT, or while being on MEXT?
I know that we aren't allowed to receive another JP government award while on MEXT - I wondered about the smaller bursaries and prizes, though.
Hey there! There is a thread called MEXT scholarship (graduate students) 2017 that you can join for additional information although it's not very active at the moment. As for your question, I do not think so. I think that your research can change based on what your professor wants after you are accepted. Good luck!Hi all,
I am planning to apply for MEXT research scholarship for 2017 admission, but no thread has been set up yet. So I post my question here.
I'm in the life science field - specifically virology. Let's say my research proposal is about studying the molecular mechanism of influenza virus infection. After admitted to the lab, I will still focus on influenza virus study, but maybe in another aspect than my research proposal. Let's say, instead of molecular mechanism of infection, I change it to protein studies and vaccine development instead. Is it allowable?
I mean, do we have to ABSOLUTELY do our research as written in our submitted research proposal?
Hope to hear some feedback. Thanks!

Sorry but I couldn't find the MEXT Scholarship 2017 thread for graduate students. Could you please kindly guide me to the forum?
Thank you for your reply!

Me too! Kyoto University?
EDIT: Are you Veronika by any chance?
MEXT always supplies you tickets from the closest airport to your home to the closest airport to your university of choice. In my case, I'm flying from Ljubljana (Slovenia) through Istanbul (Turkey) to Kansai International Airport in Osaka.
Thank you!Congrats guys - you must be getting really excited now!
I have a pretty specific question... Do you fly into Kansai international from abroad or are you arriving at Narita and doing the old bus ride to Haneda?
Cheers

Hi guys, just wanted to ask if those of you accepted to Todai were offered a choice of dorms, or only one? Can I ask which one(s) were you offered? I couldn't find this info anywhere.
