    Once you have cleared screening by the University of Tokyo Security Export Control, the Admission Notice for Successful Applicants will be issued to you and will be sent to you in a timely manner. As this notice will not be re-issued, please submit a copy when you apply for a passport or time off work, etc. If you are requested to submit the original, please contact your International Coordination Team (ICT) Admissions Desk in advance.

    Degree Certificate

    At the time of your enrolment, the Graduate School of Engineering must have your most up-to-date documents available.


    One of the qualifications to enter this degree program at the Graduate School of Engineering at the University of Tokyo is to have completed a bachelor’s degree (for master’s programs) or a master’s degree (for doctoral programs) in another country before enrolling at The University of Tokyo.

    If you did not hold a relevant degree at the time of application to the Graduate School of Engineering, and therefore submitted a certificate of expected graduation as a substitute for your degree certificate, you must update your graduation status by submitting your degree certificate. If you need to demonstrate the completion of your degree course, please allow enough time to prepare your degree certificate and send it to your ICT Admissions Desk. If preferred, you can submit an officially certified copy of your diploma instead of your original degree diploma.


    1. Upload your most recent degree certificate via the File Upload option under the Admitted tab if you were an on-going student at the time of your application to the Graduate School of Engineering.
    2. Then your ICT Admissions Desk will submit the uploaded one to the Office of Graduate Division.
    3. Please bring your original Degree Certificate or Diploma, which you have uploaded on T-cens, and show it directly to the Office of Graduate Division at the time of your enrolment.
      If your original documents are not available, the School of Engineering accepts photocopied documents ONLY WHEN they are attested to be accurate facsimiles of the original with original stamps of attestation from a suitable legal entity. Attestations can be provided by the academic institute where you studied or a local notary. Or you can bring your original document and ask the Office of Graduate Division to make a photocopy at the office.
