PhD Scholarships - Department of Japanese Studies - National University of Singapore

The Department of Japanese Studies at the National University of Singapore invites highly motivated individuals to apply for a four-year scholarship to read a PhD degree with us.

Within the four-year program students can do coursework offered by the department as well as graduate modules offered elsewhere in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. We also encourage students to spend some time at one of our partner universities in Japan as part of their studies. Employment opportunities and additional financial support for fieldwork and conference attendance is also available. For scholarship information please visit:

We especially encourage candidates interested in Japan's relationship with Asia, especially Southeast Asia to apply, but we will also consider other research topics. Faculty members specialize in various aspects of Japan, including business, history, sociology, linguistics, international relations, cultural studies, literature, film, and geography.
