Where appropriate, preference will be given to a student from the United Kingdom.
Applicants are asked to present a brief statement of no more than 500 words, describing the research project they intend to undertake as part of their programme.
Decisions will be made by the Course Committee of the MSc/MPhil programmes in Modern Japanese Studies in the course of Trinity Term and all applicants informed as soon as possible thereafter.
Applications should be addressed to the Director of Graduate Studies, Nissan Institute, 27 Winchester Rd, Oxford.

Examination Results
Once your results have been released you will be sent an email informing you that your assessment results and the result for the year (if applicable) are available to view in Student Self Service. If you are completing your studies you will also be able to view your final classification (please remember to update your contact details; you will be able to access Self Service for six months after you have finished your course). You are able to select to have your name omitted from publicly displayed lists using Self Service but changes may not be taken into account if they are made during the times when lists are due to be published. Appeals against the outcome of an examination, whether originating with candidates or their tutors, should be referred by colleges to the Proctors.
Transcripts Information
What is a transcript?
A transcript is an official summary of a student's academic performance and progress to date. It will only include final marks confirmed by the appropriate Examination Board. A transcript may be needed for verification by prospective employers or by other educational institutions to which you are applying.
Will I receive a transcript?
All students who commenced their studies on, or after, Michaelmas Term 2007, will automatically receive one copy of their final transcript upon completing their degree. This will be sent to the 'home address' listed in your Student Self Service account - please ensure these details are kept up to date. Students who commenced their studies prior to Michaelmas Term 2007 should contact their College Office for their final transcript.
Can I request extra copies of my transcript?
Students who began studying on, or after, Michaelmas Term 2007 can order additional copies of their final transcript at a cost of £5 each. You can order and buy online by credit/debit card at the University online shop, or by post with payment by cheque by downloading the Postal order form. If you are expecting examination results, please wait until you receive your results in Student Self Service before requesting extra copies of a final transcript. Requests placed before your results are released may not include your final results.
European Credit Transfer Scheme (ECTS)
If you are applying to study for a further degree at another university, you may be asked for a document stating how many credits your degree is worth. There are two credit systems: that used by UK universities; and the European Credit Transfer Scheme (ECTS for short) used by a number of other European countries. The University of Oxford does not participate in these credit frameworks but can produce certificates indicating the equivalency of its qualifications to the normal credit values in English universities and for the ECTS. The University of Oxford takes each year of full-time undergraduate study to equal 120 UK Credits, which equates to 60 ECTS credits. Each year of full-time taught Masters study equates to 180 UK Credits, which equates to 90 ECTS credits. If you require an official statement from the University of Oxford stating the number of UK Credits or ECTS credits for a full-time degree, please email student.information@admin.ox.ac.uk.
Graduate Student Room
Within the Nissan Institute overlooking Winchester Road there is a small room for use by graduate students. You will find there: a television which you can use to watch JSTV, a DVD/VCR player, a collection of Japanese and English books, dictionaries and videos, a desk and chairs.
This room is available to all students on the MSc/MPhil programmes during normal office hours. Please feel free to use this room as a base while you are a student on the Modern Japanese studies programme.
