How do I apply?

Please contact your prospective host supervisor, which must be listed on this website.
Your host supervisor will submit the application form to CICASP on your behalf, once it is completed.

Are internships still available given the COVID-19 pandemic?

In principle, we are still managing the internship program. However, prospective interns outside of Japan must stay up-to-date with current Japanese immigration policies, which have been dynamic throughout the pandemic. Contact CICASP for details and/or get in touch with your local Japanese embassy/consulate for the most up-to-date information.

Are there any requirements for the internship program?

Students who are considering applying to the International Course in Primatology and Wildlife Research are preferable, but it is not a requirement.

What is the duration of an internship?

Internship lengths are flexible but the durations must be determined by the prospective intern and their host.

Is there accommodation?

There are different options depending on your internship location.

In Inuyama, EHUB operates a dormitory on campus.The cost is inexpensive and all bedrooms are private but in most cases bathrooms are shared.
In Kyoto, you will have to make arrangements with your host supervisor.
Accommodations for international students are available at Kyoto University, but availability is limited.
