Unfortunately, a similar scholarship program for students other than those who have completed their undergraduate studies at Kyoto iUP and will be entering graduate school at Kyoto University is not yet established. Please see the next FAQ (1-4) for information on the benefits Kyoto iUP students can receive if they continue their studies at Kyoto University's graduate school.

The Kyoto iUP Office actively provides Kyoto iUP students who are considering applying for graduate school with information on scholarships administered by foundations outside university as well as ones directly awarded by Kyoto University.
As for the latter, in 2023, the Kyoto University Division of Graduate Studies has launched a scholarship program for graduate school, targeting Kyoto iUP students who will graduate from the undergraduate program in March 2024 and intend to enter Kyoto University's graduate school.*
The program is very competitive, and only a small number of students are guaranteed to receive the scholarship before entering the graduate school, but with this scholarship, they can go on to the graduate school from undergraduate course without any financial concerns.
*Please note that there is a possibility that the support details of the scholarship program may change in the future, or that the scholarship program itself may be cancelled or suspended.

Although Kyoto University does not have a double major system, Kyoto University traditionally places great importance on liberal arts education. Therefore, students, especially in their freshman and sophomore years, can choose classes according to their own interests and broaden their study regardless of the faculty and department they belong to. For example, Humanities students can take Natural Sciences courses, and vice versa.

Kyoto iUP does not accept transfer applications. The program requires a six-month Preparatory Course prior to enrollment in the bachelor's program.

For international students who are seeking a bachelor's degree, the Undergraduate School of Civil, Environmental and Resources Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering offers an international course called "Undergraduate International Course Program of Civil Engineering", which allows students to graduate without learning Japanese, but only with classes conducted in English.
