Embassy of Japan in the UK offers postgraduate scholarships for students who have United Kingdom nationality, i.e. a UK passport. (Non-UK nationals must contact the Japanese Embassy in their country of nationality.) Application forms for the 2008-2010 programme will be available from early April 2007.<\/p>\n
This award is offered on an annual basis to those with a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, under the age of 35, who wish to continue their study at graduate level in Japan. The scholarship is primarily a research award, though enrolment onto a taught degree course may be possible in some cases. Japanese language ability is not prerequisite.<\/p>\n
Grantees can pursue research in any field as long as it is related to one’s first degree. It can be difficult, however, to place students who may wish to study visual and performing arts. Candidates are encouraged to establish contacts with Japanese academics in their field when applying for the scholarship. University preferences are taken into account as far as possible.<\/p>\n
Applications normally begin yearly in April and the scholarship is tenable from April or October the following year. Those leaving in April will hold their award for two years, whilst those departing in October will hold theirs for 18 months. The Japanese Government will provide return air fare, school fees and a monthly stipend (\u00c2\u00a5172,000 – subject to change).<\/p>\n
Application forms for the 2008-2010 postgraduate studies scholarship will be available from the Japanese Embassy in London from 2007.<\/p>\n
