    Standardized tests

    TOEFL
    required
    Min Ideally, we would expect successful applicants to have around 100 in TOEFL-iBT or its equivalent in the other tests. Note, however, that we evaluate applicants on the basis of all application documents. Even if an applicant’s score in TOEFL-iBT is lower than 100, we may admit them if we judge from their application materials that they have sufficient ability to study at our graduate school. Conversely, if an applicant has a score of 100 in TOEFL-iBT, we may not admit them if we judge them to have insufficient academic ability (for example, if their BA thesis is of poor quality).
