How to Apply for UTokyo FFP

UTokyo FFP is open to those affiliated with the University of Tokyo as regular graduate students, postdocs, or faculty/staff members. There are no requirements to enroll in this course, but please note that you cannot complete the course in case you are absent for more than two out of eight days.
Please carefully read “3. Project Overview” and the syllabus and follow the application steps. We also offer an observer (auditor) category for those outside the University. If you wish to join the program as an observer, please read the description provided at the bottom of this page for more details.

We conduct a briefing session on UTokyo FFP preceding every application period. Those who would like to know more about the program are recommended to participate in this session. Participation in the briefing session does not affect selection.
