Basic knowledge of graduate student life
Introduction
Congratulations to all new graduate students on your admission!
This website was created to answer common questions that new graduate students have, such as "What is life like as a graduate student?" and "How do I actually conduct research and job hunting?" All articles are written by current University of Tokyo graduate students based on their real-life experiences. We hope you will find them helpful as advice from those who have gone before you.
You are the one who decides what you will do in graduate school. If you just go with the flow, the years of graduate school will pass by in the blink of an eye. It is important to clearly identify what you want to do and what you should do, and to set goals. We wish you all the best in having a meaningful graduate school experience.
