Recommendation System (for Graduate schools)

It is possible to enter Waseda University’s Graduate Schools through recommendation.
Application period, number of successful applicants and application procedures depend on each department so please prepare accordingly.

Job application through recommendation

There are generally two job hunting procedures: Either through regular entry or entry through school recommendation.
Regular entry, as the name indicates, is when students apply individually to each company and is the most common method for job application in Japan. On the other hand, job application through school recommendation is when a formal university recommendation letter with the dean’s seal accompanies the application. Until now, this recommendation system has mainly applied to Science and Technology students, but lately some companies have asked SILS students to provide similar application process.
Each application has its own procedures. If you are interested in applying for a job through the recommendation system make sure to check the SILS website and the SILS bulletin boards regularly.
