2. Admissions Policy
The University of Tokyos 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 universitys 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 Asias 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.

3. Eligibility
3.1 Eligibility Requirements
Students are eligible to apply for PEAK as long as they satisfy ONE of the Requirement 1

Those who have attended schools in Japan not certified by the Ministry of Education,

(d) The applicant must have passed an official test that shows he or she possesses
