Revision about system of member universities for JGRAD (Abolition of the division of graduate school and support program)

 

The division of graduate schools and support programs in the system of JGRAD member university has been eliminated.

In the previous system of JGRAD member university, there are cases that only specific graduate schools and specific support programs such as the Leading Graduate Schools were eligible for registration in the database.

In September 2022, NISTEP explained and discussed this revision of system with administrative offices of the member universities and decided to change the system. Now, doctoral students and graduates regardless of their graduate school or support program in member universities can apply for JGRAD registration. As of November 2022, the registration in the database will only be open to doctoral human resources who have enrolled in a doctoral program in 2014 or later.
