Dear Applicants, 

We appreciate your interest in OIST programs. Before you reach out with any questions, please take a moment to explore the information on our website and check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) pages: 

• For PhD-related questions, check our PhD FAQs. 

• If you're considering a Research Internship, our Research Internship FAQs can be helpful. 
   

If your question isn't covered in these places or on our Admissions Website, we will prioritize your inquiry.

When you send us an email, make sure your email settings allow messages from the @oist.jp domain to allow our response to be delivered correctly. 

Please be aware that if you contact us right before a deadline or during Japanese holidays, it may take up to a week for us to reply. We recommend preparing and submitting your application well in advance to ensure we have enough time to support you. 

Thanks for your cooperation. 

 OIST Admissions Team
