Kochi University Of Technology (Kut) Special Scholarship Program For Doctoral International Students
The Special Scholarship Program (SSP) was founded in 2003 to promote the university's advanced research by enlisting the assistance of highly capable students, particularly those from foreign countries. The institution selects doctoral candidates for specific research programs twice a year, in April and October. Students study for their doctorate in English (with the exception of Japanese students) while also working as research assistants for their host professor (RA). KUT hopes to strengthen and enhance international ties with intellectual and educational institutions across the world through this program.
