Overview of Admission Examination

The Graduate School of Medicine offers a master’s course (standard 2-year course that grants a Master’s of Medicine degree upon completion) and a doctoral course (a standard 4-year course that grants a Doctor of Medicine degree upon completion).

In addition to classroom instruction, the Graduate School of Medicine deems it important to place students in a laboratory of their choice where they can receive research guidance. Before applying, the student should contact instructors they may want to serve as their research advisor to discuss the education and research the student wants to pursue for their degree and then decide who they want to serve as their research advisor.

In addition, the TOEIC is now being used as part of the admission examination for the Graduate School of Medicine. Prospective applicants must receive a TOEIC score that surpasses the required minimum score set by the Graduate School of Medicine before applying to the school.
