Exchange programs
Our laboratory does not directly recruit doctoral students. However, we welcome highly motivated international students who are interested in studying at Kyoto Institute of Technology (KIT) as part of their doctoral education. Exchange students have the possibility to work at their thesis or do an internship at the Biomaterials Engineering Laboratory.

Exchange programs
Students at our partner institutions (see list) in various countries around the world have the opportunity to study with us for a semester or a full academic year. Interested students must consult their university’s KIT exchange coordinator and be approved by their home institution before applying for a KIT exchange. Partner institution and KIT coordinators will facilitate applicants’ study arrangements and be available for consultation during the exchange.
