This page features summer programs held every year at partner institutions of the University of Tokyo and world-class universities. Applications usually begin around January, and depending on the program, some remain open until June.
This page features internship programs (such as research internships) that are held annually at UTokyo’s partner universities and other top universities worldwide. Applications for programs held in the summer often open in December or later, with some deadlines as early as December. Programs held at other times accept applications on a rolling basis as opportunities become available.
