Overview
MEXT International Priority Graduate Placement Programs (PGP) & MEXT University Selection at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU)
In 2007, the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) selected two of APU's graduate programs (IMAT and Comparative Institution Design for Transition Economy and Business Management) for their International Priority Graduate Placement Programs. The Innovation and Technology Management Program was also selected in the following year. Due to these programs' special status with MEXT, APU can recommend a certain number of applicants to these programs for full scholarships from MEXT every year. In addition, APU has also been granted the right to recommend a few additional applicants who have applied to APU's other graduate programs. This is called "MEXT University Selection".
Eligibility
(1) Nationality and Residence: Anyone who does not hold Japanese nationality and is not residing in Japan at the time of application. Citizens of countries which do not have diplomatic relations with Japan are ineligible.
(2) Age: Applicants must be under 35 years of age as of the 1st of April 2010.
(3) Professional Experience: MBA applicants must have at least 3 years of work experience related to the applicant's chosen field of study.
Benefits
- Full Admission Fee
- Full Tuition
- A monthly subsistence allowance of 154,000 yen (*amount subject to change for 2010) to cover living expenses, including housing and books (*see (2) in "Notes")
Medical insurance
- Economy class air travel between the home country and the host university at the start of the study program and one return journey following the end of the overall scholarship period. (IMAT students will receive only air travel between their home country and Japan and Japan and Germany after the first year of the program. Air travel back to the IMAT student's home country at the end of the program must be paid for by the student, but can be funded by saving some of the monthly subsistence allowance during the program.)
