Notice Regarding Foreign Language (English) Examinations for Entrance
to the Doctoral Program in Medicine※This is the entrance examination information for admission in April 2025.
The University of Tokyo does not administer a test of English proficiency to applicants for the Doctoral Program inMedicine, Graduate School of Medicine. However, because the Doctoral Program in Medicine seeks to train students

score lower than 60 at the time of application are eligible to apply to the program and take the examination. However,a significantly low TOEFL-iBT score may be considered evidence of insufficient English proficiency for research.
