The study exchange normally allows up to four graduate students from each institution to enroll in courses at the partner institution for one semester, or two graduate students from each institution to study at the partner campus for one academic year, under the general supervision of a member or members of faculty of the hosting department or program. The exchange will initially be limited to U. Tokyo students who can meet Princeton’s English language requirements for international graduate students in any discipline. Details At Princeton, U. Tokyo students will be registered as Visiting Exchange Students, with access to all the same facilities as a full-time enrolled graduate student.
