STEP 1: Identify your research interests

Before starting the JEMARO Master Programme, students are asked to think about the Research Field/Topic they would like to work on over their 2-year Research Track. Their research will be jointly supervised by a European and a Japanese professor over their 2 years on the programme.

When applying, students will be asked to indicate a Research Field/Topic in which they are interested on their motivation form

STEP 2: Prepare the required documents

The following documents must be uploaded on the online application platform (in PDF format):
