What is the Partner School Recommendation?
Partner University Recommendation refers to students who are currently enrolled at one of IPS’s partner universities, have undergone an internal screening process at their home university, and have been officially recommended.
Unlike the typical recommendation where a professor submits the recommendation letter directly, the Partner School Recommendation requires applicants to submit their recommendation letters through the designated contact person at the partner university.
Please note that even if you are applying from a partner school, your application will not be accepted as a Partner School Recommendation unless it is submitted through the designated contact person at the partner university.
If you wish to take the Partner School Recommendation Entrance Examinations, please first check with your university office to confirm your eligibility.
Admission Guidelines
*For details about the F Course and G Course, please contact the coordinator in charge at each partner school.
