Basic policy of Admission

We widely recruit applicants. In order to provide applicants with multiple examination opportunities, we will conduct in-campus selection (recommendation, academic ability), general selection (including international students) and selection for students recommended by KOSEN (National Institute of technology) who will have completed advanced courses.
To select students who meet the aforementioned requirements, we evaluate applicants' abilities and qualities through oral examinations, interviews and documentary examinations.
