Frequentl

Asked Questions

Before Filling out the Forms

Q. Can I receive recommendations from

multiple universities for MEXT University

Recommendation Scholarship?

A. No. MEXT’s rules state that you can only be

recommended to the Monbukagakusho (i.e.

MEXT) for scholarship by one university. If you

secretly advance applications with multiple

institutions and MEXT therefore receives

recommendations for you from multiple schools,

MEXT will disqualify you from their scholarship.

Q. What are the yellow boxes in the application

documents?

A. The yellow boxes are known as Sticky Notes.

By hovering your mouse over them, or clicking on

them, you can read advice on how to fill out that

section of the form. The advice will not appear in

most internet browsers, so please download the

PDF to your computer and open in Adobe

Acrobat Reader (free).

Q. Will submitting other documents (i.e.

certificates of training, participation etc.) that

aren’t listed in the required documents on the

application guidelines help my admission

chances?

A. No. Only submit documents as requested in the

application guidelines. Any other certificates, etc...

included within your application package that don’t

specifically meet one of the requirements will be

removed from your application before the review

process and will not be considered.

The Ritsumeikan and Monbukagakusho Application Forms

Q. The MEXT Application Form requires a 4.5

cm by 3.5 cm ID photo, but the Ritsumeikan

University form asks for one that is 3 cm by

2.4 cm. Can I use the same photo for both?

A. You may use 4.5 cm wide by 3.5 cm high photos

on all of the forms, so long as it meets all the other

requirements.

Q. My country uses a different system of

counting years. Can I enter dates in my

country's system?

A. No, all dates on all forms must be written in the

Western system (also called AD or CE). All dates

must include a year and month at least, and day

wherever possible.

Frequentl

Asked Questions

Q. Where can I find the list of graduate

schools, majors, and courses accepting?

A. Please refer to the application guidelines

included at the beginning of this PDF.

Q. I have not done any research in the field I

am applying for, do I have to fill in the

questions for research specialized in the

past?

A. Yes.

Q. On the MEXT Application Form, one of the

questions is "If you have a job, please fill in

employer’s name." Should I write my

supervisor/boss’s name here?

A. No. If you are currently employed, please fill in

the name of the company you work for.

Application Questionnaire

Q. Do I need to contact my Desired Supervising

Professor before submitting my application?

A. No. Additionally, filling in the name of a desired

supervising professor does not obligate that

professor to become your advisor in the event that

you are admitted to Ritsumeikan, nor does it give

that professor the ability to determine your

acceptance. You may be assigned to a different

advising professor based on the decision of the

graduate school.

Recommendation Letter

Q. I cannot find the Recommendation Form

for my Dean to fill in. Where can I find one?

A. There is no particular form. This should be a

Recommendation Letter clearly addressed to “The

President of Ritsumeikan University, Japan”.

Q. I know my Assistant Dean better than my

Dean. Can he/she write my recommendation?

A. No. If you are in school or a recent graduate your

letter of recommendation must be from the Dean of

your department or a higher ranked university

official. A letter written and signed by your professor

which is also co-signed by your Dean, however, is

also acceptable.

Q. I graduated a while ago. Can someone

from my workplace write my

recommendation?

A. If you graduated and have been working

somewhere for at least three years, a superior at

work can write your recommendation. The person

must be equivalent to, or higher than, the rank of

Dean at a university (e.g. company president, vice

president, branch president, etc…).

Frequentl

Asked Questions

Q. Will it help my application if I send multiple

letters of recommendation?

A. No. Only one recommendation, which must be

from the Dean or a higher ranking person at the

most recent academic institution at which you

acquired a degree or are scheduled to acquire a

degree (or from someone of equivalent or higher

rank from your workplace: see above) is required.

Certificate of Grades and Certificate of (scheduled) Graduation

Q. The guidelines ask for me to submit my

“Official” certificates of grades and graduation.

Should I send the original grades and diploma

certificate I received at the time of my

graduation ceremony?

A. NO. DO NOT send your actual diploma

certificate under any circumstances.

Universities usually only issue diplomas once, and

should be kept by students as a reminder of their

achievement. Instead, please contact your former

university and have them issue you new official

certificates of grades and graduation, a service

that is usually carried out by the Registrar or your

former department’s administrative office.

After submission, your application documents

cannot be returned for any reason. Do not

mistakenly send us your one and only original

diploma!!

Q. My Certificate is in a language other than

Japanese or English. Can I send you a certified

translation?

A. You must submit both the original and the

certified translation. Please note that all

translator's certifications should be in Japanese or

English.

Q. My certificate of graduation/grades is not in

English or Japanese and my school cannot

issue one in English or Japanese. Can I

translate it myself?

A. No. You must submit the original certificate in

addition to a certified translation made by a

qualified translator.

Q. What is the minimum GPA to apply? A. Because grading systems vary from country to

country we do not have set minimum scores.

However, when you submit your grades or other

record of academic performance, it must include a

description of the rating system so that we can

evaluate your score against your own system to

determine the level of your academic

achievement.

Q. What do you mean by "clear explanation of

grading/ marking system"?

A. You must include an original document issued

by your university that explains your grading

system. At a minimum, this document should

Frequentl

Asked Questions

equate your grading system to a 4 or 5 step

grading system such as: (Outstanding,) Excellent,

Good, Satisfactory, and Fail; A, B, C, D, F, etc…

Q. I am currently enrolled in school and have

only one year of grades on my transcript. What

should I do?

A. Please submit your grades from the previous

two complete years of degree-pursuing studies,

even if they are from different institutions.

Q. What should I do if my Certificate of Grades

is not divided by year and semester?

A. Please attach supplementary documentation,

such as a course registration record, that shows

which courses composed your most recent two

years of study.

Concise Summary of Graduation Thesis for Most Recent Degree

Q. I didn’t have to write a thesis for my most

recent degree. Should I still submit something?

A. Yes. If you didn’t write a thesis, please submit a

one page summary of the research you completed

during the study towards your most recent degree.

Passport/ ID

Q. I do not have a passport. What should I

submit?

A. Please submit a document that clearly shows

your legally registered name in your home country,

as it will appear on your passport once you have

acquired it.

Language Proficiency

Q. English is an official language in my home

country/my previous degree was taught in

English, do I still need to provide English test

scores (i.e. TOEFL)?

A. If you don’t have an internationally recognized

English test score as designated by the application

guidelines, a certificate issued by your university

stating that the language of instruction of your

degree program was English, or stating your

English proficiency level in detail, should be

submitted instead (see Application Guidelines).

There is no particular format, however documents

must be official university certificates or letters.

Q. What is the minimum Japanese proficiency

to apply?

A. Students applying for English based programs

do not need to demonstrate Japanese language

proficiency. Students applying to Japanese-based

programs must have sufficient Japanese ability to

undertake all of their coursework, and write their

thesis or dissertation in Japanese.

Application Procedures

Q. Is there an application fee for applicants

under the Monbukagakusho Scholarship

Program?

A. No.

Q. Is it possible to start my studies in the

spring semester (April)?

A. No. Results of the scholarship application

process are not finalized until July or August, so it

is not possible to begin in April. All students in

degree-seeking programs will arrive in September

to begin their studies.

Technical Difficulties, Printing Problems, etc…

Q. I cannot read/fill in some of the fields in the

application documents. What should I do?

A. Please be sure to download the pdf file to your

computer (do not view it in your browser window),

install the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader

(free) and install the Japanese language pack

(free). Acrobat Reader should prompt you to install

the language pack if you do not already have it.

Q. The yellow Sticky Notes are visible on my

printed forms. Can I submit them like this?

A. No. Your forms, especially the Monbukagakusho

Application and Field of Study and Study Program

forms, cannot be submitted with the Sticky Notes

visible. If the notes appear when printed, it means

that you are probably printing from your internet

browser. Download the form to your computer, open

in Adobe Acrobat Reader (free), and attempt to print

the form. If the notes still appear, adjust the print

settings to print the document only, or, simply delete

each note from the document manually.
