For Prospective Graduate Students from Overseas
Admissions Assistance Desk (hereinafter called “AAD”) supports prospective international graduate students from overseas during the initial stage of application by working as a liaison between students and their prospective supervisors. Most faculties at Osaka University require prospective research or graduate students to receive an approval from their prospective supervisors before they apply to the programs of their interest. However, this initial stage can be complicated as international students might not know how to approach professors or what they can send. Professors also find it challenging to respond to a range of emails from prospective students—all sending various documents in different formats.
Therefore, during this initial stage, AAD assists prospective international students to efficiently prepare and deliver their documents to the professors (hereinafter referred to as “prospective supervisors”) under whose supervision they wish to study.
