Even when the group of the second choice field is the same as that of the first choice field, you must still
enter group code A to D in the “second choice application field” column.
3. In the case that the thesis advisor in the field you are applying is due to retire during your enrollment in
the Master’s Program, a replacement advisor or any other advisor in the group will take over and be incharge of supervising your research.
4. Important information on the entrance examination for the Department of Physics is available on thefollowing websites. Make sure to check the latest information.

results, he/she is accepted under the status of “Field Undecided.”
Taking the above into consideration, carefully decide the fields of the first and second choices. It is
recommended that you contact the faculty member of the fields of your first and second choices prior toapplication and obtain details of the research and the number of laboratory members in the field.
4. The field for a “Field Undecided” successful applicant is decided on the basis of consultations after
enrollment. The “Field Undecided” successful applicant may be admitted to the field of his/her choice if
there is any admission cancellation.

5. An applicant who has been accepted in the second choice field can still become a “Field Undecided”
successful applicant by waiving his/her admission to the second choice field after the registration period.
6. Details of the available fields, the waiver application for admission to the second choice field, and thedecision of field for the “Field Undecided” successful applicant shall be released after the registration
period.
7. When you wish to be admitted to a research field of a guest teacher, enter both the field number and nameof the guest teacher in the “application field number” column of the Application Form.
