"Embassy Recommendation" refers to the recruitment and selection of scholarship students by Japanese embassies and consulates abroad. All necessary documents and interviews are handled by the Japanese embassy in your country, so please contact your local Japanese embassy for more details.
The "University Recommendation" is a method whereby Tottori University recruits and screens applicants from partner universities wishing to study abroad, and then recommends them to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) as scholarship students. The program is open to research students (graduate students) and Japanese language and culture research students (undergraduate students). The time of arrival for "MEXT students" recommended by Tottori University is September or October (October enrollment). There is a limit to the number of students that can be recommended by Tottori University.
