VIED Scholarship Program: For Admission in October 2016
Kanazawa University has concluded a Memorandum of Understanding with MOET-VIED on accepting students through Vietnam 911 and other VIED scholarship projects. This is a unique program which offers fee waiver, simplified application and selection process, and other services.
The application is open to the scholarship candidates of VIED scholarship. The program targets those who wish to pursue a Master’s or Doctoral degree at KU. The program runs for 24, 36, or 48 months, depending on the desired degree and the field of study. Applicants will be selected and matched with academic adviser by the graduate schools at KU, then undergo the final selection by the academic adviser. Upon successfully completing all processes, applicants will be admitted to KU as graduate students sponsored by VIED scholarship.
We are sure that the postgraduate study at KU will stimulate your academic ability and expand your horizons. We look forward to receiving your application and hope to welcome you to our beautiful university.

We will schedule and arrange the Call for Application for April 2017 in the months to come. This homepage will be updated accordingly at that time.
