Reputation, location, financial support
Angie: Tokyo Tech is one of the best engineering schools in Japan. My professor at Bandung Institute of Technology in Indonesia recommended I pursue my master s degree here. I knew a Tokyo Tech education would help me become a great engineer.
Max:Four years ago, when I was in the first year of my master s degree, I came to Tokyo Tech as an exchange student through the Tokyo Tech International Research Opportunities Program, TiROP
Tokyo Tech is home to over 1,200 international students from over 70 different countries, creating a rich and diverse mix of cultures for everyone to experience and enjoy. The Tokyo Tech International Students Association (TISA) is an organization dedicated to connecting all international students and working to enhance this multicultural experience at Tokyo Tech. New and existing international students at the International Welcome Party
TISA was created during round table meetings between Tokyo Tech staff and representatives from the international student community. The association was officially launched on October 5, 2007 under the guidance of Associate Professor Yuriko Sato from the Department of Transdisciplinary Science and Engineering to unite and support international students, and to coordinate cross-cultural activities.
Tokyo Tech will take special measures concerning tuition exemption （ special exemption ） for undergraduate students, to reduce adverse consequences resulting from implementation of the Japanese government s financial support system for higher education （ new support system ） commencing in April 2020. Students eligible for special exemption are those who entered a bachelor s program in or before AY 2019.
Outline
While the government s new support system is expected to enhance undergraduate education, there may be cases where financial support for current students will be reduced due to major changes.
For example: Tuition deduction will be one-third, two-thirds, or 100% （currently 50% or 100% of tuition）. Maximum household income of applicants for tuition exemption will be drastically lowered.
Tokyo Tech s collaboration and engagement in Thailand extends back several decades. In particular, the Institute has for many years contributed to education and research in Thailand in the field of science and technology. Tokyo Tech opened its first overseas office on the campus of Thailand s National Science and Development Agency (NSTDA) in 2002.
Since 2007, the Institute has been collaborating with NSTDA and Thai partner universities in Thailand Advanced Institute of Science and Technology(TAIST)-Tokyo Tech, a joint graduate education program designed to foster the development of internationally competitive research engineers and high-level development researchers in Thailand. The program has gained support from local industry and Japanese companies with operations in Thailand.
For the past 5 years, Tokyo Tech s Re-Inventing Japan Project aimed at developing talented individuals capable of being active internationally while promoting exchanges with universities in Asia, Europe, and the U.S. The project, supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, started in 2011 and ended in March 2016. This outline of the five years of activities during the project shows what Tokyo Tech has to offer to the world.
Two programs of the Re-Inventing Japan Project
The Re-Inventing Japan Project consisted of two programs,TKT CAMPUS Asia and TiROP, both of which aimed to provide students with opportunities to focus on lab work at their host universities. The programs boosted exchange of students and researchers with the following universities.
