The document for Guidelines for Admissions to Doctoral Program for international student is now available from our Global COE office.

Our Nagoya University Global Center of Excellence Program invites applications from pre-doctoral students pursuing doctoral dissertation research projects in physics, astrophysics and/or solar-terrestrial physics. Applicants must have completed course work and have master's degree in the relevant fields.

All applicants to the program are required to contact Nagoya's faculty member whom applicants wish to be their dissertation advisor, or contact Professor Bish K. Ishibashi (bish@u.phys.nagoya-u.ac.jp) for assistance. The purpose of the initial contact is to ensure that each candidate's interest is closely matched with the best advisor available for study at the Nagoya University. The names of laboratories and potential advisors are listed in the link below:

A key objective of the program is to encourage students to participate in cross-disciplinary researches (e.g., studies of particle acceleration in terrestrial/astrophysical/cosmic scale). It would be a major advantage for applicants who desire to pursue cross-disciplinary research for their doctoral theses.

The Deadline of application for pre-screening is on April 15th, 2010. For those who pass the pre-screening, the entrance examination will be administered. Successful applicants will receive a stipend of ~150,000JPY per month to cover the cost of living in Nagoya. Admission, entrance fees and tuition are waived for the awardees of our GCOE program. Should you have any question concerning on our GCOE program, please contact Dr. Bish K. Ishibashi at Nagoya's Physics GCOE Office.
