To contact your desired research advisor(s), enter the necessary information in the "Pre-Contact Application Form". Please note that it is not available to contact them via the pre-contact form from the last day of the web entry/application period until the day of the announcement of results of second screening.

Applicants can select the name of the faculty member they wish to contact in the pre-contact application form, but the message reaches all faculty members. Please keep that point in mind when you contact several faculty members via the form.
