Other Graduate Schools with Scholarships (not JET specific)

  • Kyoto University of Advanced Science – KUAS  engineering programs are taught entirely in English and supplemented with intensive Japanese language courses.

A JET alum with a background in STEM and some pre-existing knowledge of Japanese can, with sufficient effort, emerge from these programs as an engineer with the technical, professional, cultural, and linguistic fluency that major Japanese tech companies demand.
