Application Instructions
1. Admission Policy
The University of Tokyo’s Programs in English at Komaba (PEAK) seeks to admit a select number of students who exhibit the potential for intellectual growth and leadership, and can contribute to the diversification of the campus with their cultural and educational
backgrounds, in line with the university’s initiative to establish a global campus and nurture global leaders.
PEAK consists of the “International Program on Japan in East Asia” and the “International Program on Environmental Sciences.” The aim of these undergraduate degree programs is to share the rich intellectual and educational resources of the university with the wider global community. The classes will be taught in English, but students will also have an opportunity to learn the Japanese language during their studies.
Students in the “Japan in East Asia” program will gain an international and interdisciplinary understanding of East Asia’s past, present and future with a particular focus on Japan. The program encourages students to develop skills and knowledge in order to foster constructive dialogue within East Asia and around the world. Students are expected to actively engage with the educational and cultural environment at the university.
Students accepted to the “Environmental Sciences” program will study this complex multidisciplinary subject from many different viewpoints including environmental and economic policy, ethics and jurisprudence. They will also learn about biodiversity
conservation, geochemical cycling, geophysics and the latest environmental technologies from an advanced science and engineering perspective. The primary aim of the program is to nurture well-rounded environmental specialists who can design and implement integrated approaches to current and future environmental issues.

2. Eligibility
Students are eligible to apply for PEAK as long as they satisfy BOTH of the Requirement 1 AND Requirement 2 at the time of enrollment on September 1, 2016. If you are unsure about your eligibility, be sure to contact the PEAK Undergraduate Admissions Office through the web enquiry form available from PEAK website (http://peak.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp/contact-us/) as early as possible.
Requirement 1
The applicant must fulfill at least ONE of the following requirements.
(a) The applicant must have completed all the requirements of a 12 school year education system consisting of primary and secondary education.
*Those who have or will be graduating from an institution in JAPAN should have completed or plan to complete the standard 12 school year curriculum at:
- a Japanese high school certified by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
or
- a special school for international students certified by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. In this case, the applicant must be 18 or older at the time of entry to the university.
*Those who have attended schools in JAPAN not certified by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology must contact the university between September 1, 2015, and September 30, 2015, to have their eligibility reviewed by the Individual Admission Review Process of the University of Tokyo. (However, it must be noted that only those who are 18 or older at the time of entry to the university can have their eligibility reviewed.) Applicants who are of this status must clear this process before they can apply. For further details, contact the PEAK Admissions Office through the web enquiry form.
(b) The applicant must be at least 18 years of age and have obtained one of the following qualifications:
1. International Baccalaureate Diploma (awarded by the International Baccalaureate Organization)

Japanese pre-university preparatory institutions for students planning to study in Japan, which are designated by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Alternatively, the applicant must be at least 18 years of age and should have received sufficient university education so as to satisfy the 12 school year requirement for entering Japanese universities (for example, if the applicant’s school education was 11 years, he or she should receive at least one year of university education to be eligible to enroll in the PEAK programs).
(d) The applicant must have passed an official test that shows he or she possesses academic background equivalent or superior to that obtained from a 12-year school curriculum. In this case, the applicant must be at least 18 years old at the time of entry to the university.
Requirement 2
PEAK is a program designed primarily for students who have been educated in languages other than Japanese. (Students who have received Japanese-medium education are
encouraged to apply for April-entry admission.)
In line with this goal, in principle, the applicant must have spent at least FOUR of the first six school years AND at least FIVE of the second six school years studying in a
language OTHER THAN Japanese. This means the vast majority of courses must have been delivered in a language other than Japanese. Requirement 2 is summarized in the following diagram.
