examination or interview (hereinafter referred to as the "oral examination") to evaluate
their motivations and research ability as well as their capacity to carry out environmental
science in an integrated setting. The selection process is based on a comprehensive
evaluation that includes the results of both the written and oral examination, withemphasis placed on the written examination's outcome.
Although the content of the examinations for the Special Selection examinations differs
according to the characteristics of the targeted applicants, the evaluation and scoringprocedure is essentially the same as that of the General Selection examination. However, inthe case of the examination for the Special Selection for Working Persons, the relevance of
the applicant's professional experience to the proposed research topic is assessed during
the oral examination. In the case of the Special Selection for International Students
examination in the Humanities and Social Science Group, whether the applicant’s Japanese
proficiency is sufficient for research will also be assessed. In all fields, we expect
applicants to have acquired the English language skills necessary for writing anddiscussing research papers as well as understanding the fundamentals of each specialized
field before entering the GSES master courses.

Doctoral course (3 years)
The General Selection examination may include a written component to ascertain if
applicants possess a high level of specialized knowledge in the relevant academic field.
However, in particular, the oral examination will be used to comprehensively evaluate theapplicant's ability to think logically and formulate a research plan based on a criticalconsideration of previous research.
In the same way, although the examinations of the Special Selection for Working Persons andthe Special Selection for International Students may also include a written examination toassess the applicant's possession of specialized knowledge, selection will mainly be madeon the quality of the research proposal along with the applicant's motivation and sense of
mission to carry out academic research in a university setting.
In the Special Selection for Working Persons and the Special Selection for International
Students, while the applicant's expertise may be assessed through a written examination if
necessary, selection is mainly based on the oral examination.
In all fields, we expect applicants to have acquired both advanced skills and fundamental
knowledge in their respective fields of specialization as well as the ability to orally
present research in academic conferences and publish academic papers.
