Q5-2. If I cannot submit the standardized tests which meet the subject requirements, can I still apply to Kyoto iUP?
A

Please note that the eligibility requirements and applicatoin documents such as acceptable standardized tests are completely different things. As long as you satisfy the eligibility requirements, you can apply to Kyoto iUP. Therefore, even if you do not meet the subject requirements, this will not prevent you from applying to Kyoto iUP itself. In that case, we will evaluate each applicant comprehensively based on all of the submitted documents and information.
