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 integration of
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 who wantto 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 have different
backgrounds from Japanese students, and mature students who are employed persons working atcompanies, institutes or other places.
Specifically, we seek students who are eager to become professionals capable of contributing to society
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 ofinterdisciplinary science.
To this end, we have various types of admission options in the following categories: general admission,
early graduate admission, mature student admission, international student admission, and special
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 is appropriately chosen
and determined from written examinations, essays, and oral examinations depending on thecharacteristics of each group in the two-year Master's Course and three-year Doctoral Course.
(Three-year Doctoral Course)
In the general transfer-admission, continuing students from other graduate schools in Tohoku
University, and transfer-admission for international students, we evaluate the applicant's specialized
knowledge and ability to apply their knowledge to problems, as well as research content and researchplans in the Master's Course, with particular emphasis on past research achievements and future potential
as an interdisciplinary researcher.
In the selection process for transfer-admission for mature students, we evaluate their work history as
employed persons, research content, and basic academic skills, with particular emphasis on their researchplans and motivation.
Before entering the university, students are expected to have general knowledge of the field in which
they intend to study, including the latest research trends; skills in researching, collecting, and organizing
materials and literature necessary for their research; and the ability to develop an original academic
argument based on this knowledge and information.

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.
<For details, please contact the GSIS Educational Affairs Section [Kyoumu Kakari].>

Please note that there may be sudden changes depending on the situation of the spread of

examination subject groups of the GSIS. (It may not be possible to comply with some subjects.)
