Kyoto Opens Applications for the 2027 Amgen Scholars Programme
Kyoto University has issued a 2 November 2026 call for its 2027 Amgen Scholars programme. It offers undergraduate research experience in university laboratories, rather than admission to a full degree.
The announcement gives a programme period of 4 June-5 August 2027 and an application deadline of 15:00 on 1 February 2027. It describes approximately ten places for eligible science-related undergraduates studying at universities and colleges in Asia, with scholarship, travel and accommodation support under the programme's terms.
Check the full research-placement conditions
Use the official programme website for complete eligibility, laboratory, document and submission information, including the deadline time zone. Do not assume that being enrolled in a science course is the only selection condition.
An applicant should be able to explain a genuine research interest and accurately describe previous laboratory or academic work. Keep the account proportionate to your actual experience; an introductory project should not be presented as independent advanced research.
Compare the placement dates with your home university's academic commitments before applying. The related study-abroad guides below help distinguish a short research opportunity from an undergraduate or postgraduate degree application.
