Entrance Exam Procedures for the 2025 Master's Program of Medical Science
In addition to the current admission criteria introduced in the 2024 entrance exam, the admission policy of
the Master's Program of Medical Science allows applicants to specify their desired research supervisor when
applying.
In accordance with this admission policy, the 2025 entrance exam will be conducted based on thefollowing procedures. Therefore, please familiarize yourself with these procedures prior to submitting yourapplication.
1. Prospective Research Supervisor(1) Prior to taking the entrance exam, you have the option of specifying your desired research supervisor.
Regardless of whether or not you exercise this option, you are encouraged to visit as many of the researchlaboratories in which you are interested as possible.
The entrance exam will be conducted in an impartial manner, regardless of whether or not you havespecified a research supervisor.
(2) You can specify your desired research supervisor from the Graduate School of Medicine faculty (as per
the List of Research Supervisors) prior to taking the entrance exam. Each research supervisor can accept
about two students, as described on the List of Research Supervisors. If you would like to specify yourresearch supervisor, please contact the said supervisor before submitting your application to confirm that
his/her research field and teaching policy agrees with your own research goals. If your desired researchsupervisor agrees to supervise you, please obtain his/her signature in the designated column on theattached 'Confirmation of Research Supervisor's Acceptance' and enclose it together with yourapplication documents. On the Application Form, tick the 'YES' box beside the 'Desired researchlaboratory' entry, and write your major as well as the name of your desired research supervisor in thespace provided.
The total quota for so-called 'cooperative departments', namely the Institute of Medical Sciences and theInstitute for Quantitative Biosciences, is four or less. Preferences will be addressed and decided upon
only after entry, meaning they may not always be fulfilled.
(3) If you would prefer not to specify your research supervisor, tick the 'NO' box beside the 'Desired researchlaboratory' entry on the Application Form. Even if you intend to take the entrance exam without
specifying a research supervisor, please contact the faculty member that you would like to receive
research supervision from before submitting your application if he/she is available.

医科学修士School of Medical Science, MA(4) The Graduate School of Medicine will host an 'Admissions Guidance for the Master's Program ofMedical Science on Saturday, 18 May, 2024 to allow interested applicants to meet their desired researchsupervisors before submitting their application, and participation is strongly encouraged.
Refer to the Master of Medical Science’s website for details:
https://www.m.u-tokyo.ac.jp/mms/guidance.html(5) The entrance exam consists of a primary exam (written exam: specialized subject) and a secondary exam
(oral exam).
(6) As a general rule, applicants who specify their desired research supervisor and subsequently pass theentrance exam are not allowed to change their research supervisor following enrollment.
(7) Successful applicants who have not specified a research supervisor are required to select a researchsupervisor after undergoing rotation following enrollment. In this case, however, it may not be possible
to satisfy a research supervisor preference after enrollment if the quota has already been filled.
(8) As a general rule, students of Department of Medical Science aren’t allowed to outsource their research
instruction to other laboratories, etc., whether on or off campus.
2. Statement of Reasons for Desired Major
Please submit, along with application documents, “Statement of Reasons for Desired Major” which
describes the reasons for selecting your desired major in two A4 pages without stapling, and write'Statement of Reasons for Desired Major' along with your name and page number at the top left of eachpage.
3. Entrance Exam
Please see the relevant parts on Japanese Version.

[Admissions Guide Attachment 2]

Notice to 2025 Master's Program of Medical Science Entrance Examinees
The first three months of the Master's Program of Medical Science consists of lectures and practicaltraining in basic medical sciences (Note ), after which students begin their research under theguidance of the research supervisors. While students complete this program by summarizing the resultsof their research in a master's thesis, it is anticipated that students will continue on to the doctoral
program.
Students who specified their preferred research supervisor before admission can commence theirresearch under said supervisor while taking the above-mentioned lectures and practical work on basic
medical sciences. On the other hand, students who did not specify their preferred research supervisor
before admission shall select their supervisor after first undergoing research rotation (Note ).
The entire process from admission to completion of the master's program is outlined below for yourreference.
Process from admission to completion:
1st year
1 April
Admission to the Master's Program of Medical Science
Early April
Admissions guidance- Late June
Summer semester classes (lectures, practical work etc.)- Late July
Rotation (students who have not yet decided on their preferred researchsupervisors visit various labs)
Late AugustStudents who have not yet selected a research supervisor make a decision.
1 October Assignment to research laboratory (exercises, practical work)
2nd year
April- Early February
Assignment to research laboratory (exercises, practical work, hospitalInternship (only applicant))
July
Application for Doctoral Program of Medicine
Mid-October
Entrance Examination for Doctoral Program of Medicine(Students who are expected to complete the Graduate School of Medicine's
Master’s Degree in Medical Science program are exempt from the written exam.)

Early February
MarchPresentation of master's thesis
Completion of Master's Program of Medical Science

April

Admission to the Doctoral Program in Medicine

Note ①: Coursework consists of lectures and practical training on basic medicine as well as a hospitalinternship (only applicant). The lectures and practical training are conducted by the Basic
Medicine Research Laboratory, which teaches basic medical knowledge. The hospitalinternship is approximately two weeks long, during which time the students divide into several
teams and attend the University of Tokyo Hospital to experience the importance of medicine
in an actual clinical setting.
Note ②: 'Rotation' refers to the period in which students who did not specify their preferred researchsupervisor prior to admission, visit the research laboratories in which they have developed aninterest through the coursework described in above to experience the atmosphere of thelaboratory and confirm the type of research conducted and guidance provided. Meanwhile,
students who already specified their preferred research supervisor prior to admissioncommence their research under the guidance of the research supervisor.

Note ③: Lectures and practical work’s content may change.
Note ④: Hospital Internship applicant must obtain antibody test before the internship. Details will be
explained in the guidance for enrollees.
