Associated Overseas University○ DD (Double Degree), JSD (Jointly Supervised Degree), or JD (Joint Degree)■Qualifying Exam 2(QE2 of NGP will be performed along with the Ph.D. defense required by the graduate schools)

Qualification for completion of NGP will also
be evaluated by the supervisor at theassociated overseas universityNGP students will be enrolled in either the Graduate School of Life Sciences or the Graduate School of Medicine. Each graduate school has
different regulations for the mandatory units required for the completion of the Ph.D. course. These units will also be counted as units
required for completion of the NGP as well.

●Neuro Global Special Overseas Training(NGP students are expected to stay at overseas university for a total of approximately 6 months or more to get training from theassociated supervisor to establish collaborative international research)

NGP students from abroad can stay inTohoku University for an extended time togain training and supervision from Tohoku
University faculty members of NGP.

●Overseas academic conference attendance◆Advanced academic English training course, Advanced basic neuroscience, Advanced brain science seminar series
Ex, Advanced brain science intensive lectures■Qualifying Exam 1(QE1 of NGP will be performed along with the Master course thesis defense required by the graduate schools)

Qualification for completion of NGP will also
be evaluated by the supervisor at theassociated overseas university

NGP students will be enrolled in either the Graduate School of Life Sciences or the Graduate School of Medicine. Each graduate school has
different regulations for the mandatory units required for the completion of the Master course. These units will also be counted as units
required for completion of the NGP as well.

● (Grad Sch of Med) Units can be acquired as "Internship training (6 units)" or "Article research I (10 units)".

Master course

Overseas training(6-10 units optional)International study(2 units mandatory)

Short-term overseas training lasting approximately 1 week to 1 month can be counted as the above units. Participation in overseas
workshops related to brain science or lab work in associated overseas university are considered as "overseas training". Those enrolled in
the Graduate School of Life Sciences do not have appropriate units that can be assigned to "overseas training" in their curriculum.
However, fees related to this short-term travel may be supplied to students from either graduate school. Please discuss with yourdesignated supervisor in Tohoku University and NGP coordinator for details.

●Academic English training course

NGP students from abroad can stay inTohoku University for a short-time period togain training and supervision from Tohoku
University faculty members of NGP.
Students in associated overseas university
are welcome to attend this workshop andparticipate in the discussions.
