Ⅰ. General Prospectus
In April 2016, Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) started the Global Scientists andEngineers Program (GSEP). Under this program, qualified international students who have little
or no proficiency in the Japanese language are now able to enroll at Institute of Science Tokyo(Science Tokyo) to pursue a bachelor of engineering degree in Japan.
GSEP is an undergraduate program for international students striving to be scientists andengineers with a global perspective in transdisciplinary fields. Proficiency in the Japanese
language is not required for admission, as courses will be taught in English. However, students

will be required to study basic Japanese, and will be encouraged to further familiarize themselveswith the language and culture throughout the course of their studies. Students who successfullyacquire advanced Japanese skills may take elective courses taught in Japanese from the thirdyear.
Up to 8 international students selected for the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science andTechnology (MEXT) scholarship will be awarded a four-year scholarship in addition to being
exempted from paying application, admission, and tuition fees. The rest privately fundedinternational students can also be admitted to the program, and they can apply for other
scholarships upon entering Science Tokyo.
Ⅱ. Program and Policy

Program:Students admitted to GSEP will study under the Department of Transdisciplinary Science andEngineering. The curriculum at the Department of Transdisciplinary Science and Engineering
includes science, engineering, management, and liberal arts courses. Transdisciplinary knowledge
is essential for scientists and engineers to solve real-world global problems as well as to acquireintercultural leadership skills. GSEP is a transdisciplinary program that is not limited to any
specific science or engineering field. Many of the core courses will be team-taught using a projectbased learning format that covers various fields of science and engineering. Students can choose1courses from which they will acquire advanced knowledge and ultimately work on a topic
according to their research interest from the various fields of expertise of the faculty in thedepartment.

Detailed information and updates regarding the program can be found on the websites below.
□GSEP official Website: https://www.tse.ens.titech.ac.jp/~gsep/□GSEP official Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/gseptokyotech/
Policy:The Department of Transdisciplinary Science and Engineering in the School of Environment andSociety offers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree programs for scientists and engineers witha global perspective in a transdisciplinary field. We aim to develop individuals who can create newtechnologies, values, and concepts to meet social demand, and are willing to address complex
global issues by taking a multi-perspective approach while applying expertise in science andengineering. Students will be equipped with competencies for problem setting and solving, creative
thinking, and execution. Studying at the Department will suit applicants who prefer not to focus
on one specific and established discipline of science and engineering. The impact of science andengineering is global. Therefore, we are looking for talented students who possess:○ interest and determination to solve global problems through science and engineering○ willingness to explore and create new knowledge○ eagerness to be acquainted to various disciplines and fields in science and engineering○ enthusiasm to study science and engineering alongside liberal arts
○ interest in understanding different cultures and values○ an open mind towards new activities and new ways of thinking
