Our JD/DD Partners

Based on our rich history of international collaboration, KIT has developed international degree programs, such as Joint Degree (JD) and Double Degree (DD) programs, in association with our partners. These programs offer both KIT and our partner institution students an opportunity to study in a different environment, obtain guidance from different perspectives, create a home away from home and build diverse human networks.
These programs also enhance the international compatibility of our research community through the active bi/multi- directional cooperation with each educational program.

Current Programs: (as of September 1, 2021)

Fees and Scholarships

Students enrolled in our JD/DD programs and whose “home” university is not KIT, are not to pay tuition fees to KIT, but to their home university. On the other hand, students are required to pay some mandatory insurance and fees in accordance with Japanese legislation and KIT regulations.

Scholarship availability depends on the program. Be sure to contact the program office at your home university for information before applying.
