有意在这里从事研究生阶段研究且不要求拿学分的申请人，必须在学习开始前的至少三个月准备材料，将材料直接从所在大学的交换项目办公室发送到筑波大学交换项目协调人处。(想在四月或十月开始学习的申请人申请时间另算。)
一、Student Status and Tuition Fees
There are two types of statuses for students coming from our overseas partner universities: exchange student (or tokubetsu chokogakusei) and exchange research student (or tokubetsu kenkyugakusei). Since the difference between the two is significant, please carefully read the descriptions below.
学生身份和学费
对于筑波大学的海外合作大学，有两类学生可以来学习：交换生和交换研究生。这两种学生的差异甚大，请仔细阅读下面的描述。
Exchange students
Exchange students (or tokubetsu chokogakusei) Exchange students (or tokubetsu chokogakusei) are undergraduate students or graduate students from other universities who wish to attend courses at the University of Tsukuba. Their admission is granted upon mutual consultation between the two universities. Exchange students can earn credits if they pass the required examinations, and credit transfer is also available depending on the system at their home universities. Exchange students should confirm the credit transfer arrangements with the International Office at their home universities before applying for the exchange programs at the University of Tsukuba. Exchange students are required to register for more than 8 periods per week.
1.交换生
交换生指其他大学的有意来筑波大学学习课程的本科生或研究生。交换生的入学以双方大学的协商为基础。交换生如果通过要求的考试，可以拿到学分，也可以转学分，转学分依据交换生本国大学的转换制度来转。在申请筑波大学的交换项目之前，交换生需要和本国大学的国际办公室核实学分转换协议。交换生每周注册的时间需要超过8个时段。
* Graduate-level exchange students cannot earn credits from the Japanese Language Courses offered by the Center for Education of Global Communication (CEGLOC). Therefore, it is highly recommend to check the website of each graduate school on the courses you can take before applying for our exchange program.
* 研究生阶段的交换生不能从全球教育交流中心开设的日语语言课程中拿到学分。因此，自爱申请筑波大学的交换项目之前，强烈建议你核实好每个研究生院可以上的课程。
Exchange research students (or tokubetsu kenkyugakusei)
Exchange research students (or tokubetsu kenkyugakusei) are graduate students from other universities who wish to conduct research under the guidance of an academic advisor (Academic Supervisor) at the University of Tsukuba. Their admission is granted upon mutual consultation between the two universities. Exchange research students will focus on their research rather than attending courses, and therefore they cannot earn credits. (It is possible, however, for them to audit some courses with the prior approval from course lecturers.)
2.交换研究生
交换研究生指其他大学的有意在专业指导老师指导下来筑波大学从事研究的研究生。交换研究生的入学以双方大学的协商为基础。交换研究生的重点是研究，不是上课，因此他们不能拿到学分。(不过，如果得到课程讲师同意。他们也可以去听某些课程。)
二、Tuition fees and tuition waiver
学费和学费减免
Applicants from our partner universities
Students who are admitted under either status from institutions with which the University of Tsukuba has a reciprocal tuition waiver agreement may be granted a tuition waiver. Please be aware, however, that the existence of an exchange agreement does not necessarily mean that you will be automatically granted a tuition waiver. (The number of students eligible for tuition fee waiver is fixed according to each student exchange agreement. In cases where the number of applicants exceeds the fixed number of tuition waiver places, the tuition fees will not be waived, even if the University of Tsukuba has a reciprocal tuition waiver agreement with the home university. For more information, please consult with the International Office at your home university.)
1.合作大学的学生申请
所在大学与筑波大学签有双方学费减免协议的被筑波大学录取的学生，可以享受学费减免。不过，有交换协议不代表你自动享受学费减免。有资格享受学费减免的学生的人数根据学生交换协议来定。如果申请人数超过了享受学费减免的人数名额，则不减免学费，即便学生所在的大学与筑波大学签有双方学费减免协议。详情请咨询所在大学的国际办公室。
Applicants from our non-partner universities
Both types of students must pay tuition fees to the University of Tsukuba. The amount of tuition for exchange students is calculated on a per-credit basis and is currently set at 14,800 yen per credit. The tuition fees for exchange research students are calculated on a per-month basis and are currently set at 29,700 yen per month.
Exchange students must pay their tuition fees at the beginning of each semester.
Exchange research students must pay the tuition fees for their entire exchange period at the beginning of their first semester.
2.非合作大学的学生申请
两类学生都需要支付筑波大学学费。交换生的学费以单位学分计算，目前单位学分学费是 14,800 日元。交换研究生学费以每月计算，目前每月学费为29,700 日元。
交换生必须在每个学期开始的时候支付学费。
交换研究生必须在第一学期开始的时候支付整个交换期间的学费。
