This video provides a tutorial about the online application process to the Joint Degree in Transcultural Studies Master Program (enrollment April next year at Kyoto University). This tutorial explains the pre-screening in October and the main application phase in November.

Transcultural Studies constitute a new research field in the humanities and social sciences that seeks to address the challenges posed by global connectivity to existing disciplines and frames of knowledge. In Japan, Kyoto University has instituted the first and until now only major in the country for this area of study, which is also the first international joint degree in the humanities. The Joint Degree Master of Arts in Transcultural Studies (JDTS) is an English language, research-oriented master program that combines interdisciplinary education with a transregional focus predominantly on East, South, and South-East Asia as well as Europe.
