2022.5.12 Entrance Examination 【Important】About Admissions Assistance Desk(AAD)
Admissions Assistance Desk (hereinafter called “AAD”) supports prospective international graduate students from overseas during the initial stage of application by working as a liaison between students and their prospective supervisors.
Graduate School of Frontier Biosciences (FBS) requires prospective international students to receive an approval from their prospective supervisors before they apply to the programs of their interest. However, this initial stage can be complicated as international students might not know how to approach professors or what they can send. Professors also find it challenging to respond to a range of emails from prospective students—all sending various documents in different formats.
AAD assists prospective international students to efficiently prepare and deliver their documents to the professors (hereinafter referred to as “prospective supervisors”) under whose supervision they wish to study.
FBS highly recommend prospective research or graduate students to apply to AAD system through online application before contacting prospective supervisors directly.

<< PLEASE NOTE >>
AAD does not make an admissions decision—it is an admissions assistance system prior to the program application process. If your application is approved by the prospective supervisor, you will be asked to contact the professor directly. However, this “proceed with a direct contact” notice from us does not mean that you would be accepted to your program. After AAD application, you must go through the admission process at FBS.
Please note that it is your responsibility to check and follow the application deadlines. AAD process takes approximately 3 weeks. Therefore, please leave enough time to prepare your application to the program.
