Two-Year Master’s Program Admission Guidelines(April 2025Admissions)Examination dates: 27-29 August 2024
Admission Policy
The Tohoku University Graduate School of Information Sciences (GSIS) aims to develop researchersand professionals who possess advanced expertise in information science based on an interdisciplinary
outlook on science that encompasses mathematics and social science. We expect researchers andprofessionals to be always sensitive to the demands of society, discover problems on their own, andpromote concrete solutions to problems, by utilizing their expertise, which is based on the integrationof the humanities and sciences. To develop persons who contribute to the creation of new value in"Information Science" that the GSIS aims to achieve, we seek diverse students, including students whowant to deepen their studies based on our accumulated achievements in various fields, students whowant to actively pursue research in interdisciplinary fields, students who want to pursue research in new
fields different from their previous research field, international students whom we expect to havedifferent backgrounds from Japanese students, and mature students who are employed persons working
at companies, institutes or other places.
Specifically, we seek students who are eager to become professionals capable of contributing tosociety by utilizing their expertise based on interdisciplinary and fundamental ability in mathematics
and science, and students who are eager to become researchers who can contribute to further
development of interdisciplinary science.
To this end, we have various types of admission options in the following categories: generaladmission, early graduate admission, mature student admission, international student admission, andspecial selection for recommended admission. The selection process is divided into seven “groups”
according to the academic specialties within the GSIS, and in each group, the selection method isappropriately chosen and determined from written examinations, essays, and oral examinations
depending on the characteristics of each group in the two-year Master's Course and three-year Doctoral
Course.
(Two-Year Master's Course)
In the general admission, early graduate admission, and international student admission, the applicant
will take a written examination that evaluates their specialized knowledge and ability to apply theirknowledge to problems, and an oral examination based on the applicant's research plans and research
motivation, with special emphasis on basic academic skills.
In the mature student admission, a comprehensive evaluation of the applicant's work history, researchcontent, and basic academic skills will be conducted.
In the special selection for recommended admission, we evaluate the applicant's ability to thinklogically, writing ability, research plans, and motivation for research.
Before entering the university, students are expected to have acquired basic knowledge in their major
field of study and adjacent fields, as well as the skills necessary to systematically prepare presentationsof their research results.

Assistance Program for Doctoral Students
As of FY2006, the GSIS provides an assistance program for doctoral students with the aim ofproviding economic support and a suitable learning environment for high achieving graduate students.
