在日本的著名高校中，筑波大學是其中一所。筑波大學上個世紀70年代才建立，但是它的前身筑波高等師范學校建立于1872年，是日本最古老的高等學府之一。因此筑波大學不僅有古老的傳統(tǒng)，也有新鮮的活力。那么筑波大學的交換生項目如何申請呢?和出國留學網一起看看!

Those applicants who wish to conduct a research at a graduate level and do not require credits must arrange to have an application form sent directly from your home institution Exchange Program office to individual exchange coordinators of the University of Tsukuba at least 3 months prior to the beginning of their studies (Except for the case that you wish to start your study in April or October.)
有意在這里從事研究生階段研究且不要求拿學分的申請人，必須在學習開始前的至少三個月準備材料，將材料直接從所在大學的交換項目辦公室發(fā)送到筑波大學交換項目協(xié)調人處。(想在四月或十月開始學習的申請人申請時間另算。)
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.
學生身份和學費
對于筑波大學的海外合作大學，有兩類學生可以來學習：交換生和交換研究生。這兩種學生的差異甚大，請仔細閱讀下面的描述。
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.交換生
交換生指其他大學的有意來筑波大學學習課程的本科生或研究生。交換生的入學以雙方大學的協(xié)商為基礎。交換生如果通過要求的考試，可以拿到學分，也可以轉學分，轉學分依據交換生本國大學的轉換制度來轉。在申請筑波大學的交換項目之前，交換生需要和本國大學的國際辦公室核實學分轉換協(xié)議。交換生每周注冊的時間需要超過8個時段。
* 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.
* 研究生階段的交換生不能從全球教育交流中心開設的日語語言課程中拿到學分。因此，自愛申請筑波大學的交換項目之前，強烈建議你核實好每個研究生院可以上的課程。
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.交換研究生
交換研究生指其他大學的有意在專業(yè)指導老師指導下來筑波大學從事研究的研究生。交換研究生的入學以雙方大學的協(xié)商為基礎。交換研究生的重點是研究，不是上課，因此他們不能拿到學分。(不過，如果得到課程講師同意。他們也可以去聽某些課程。)
二、Tuition fees and tuition waiver
學費和學費減免
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.合作大學的學生申請
所在大學與筑波大學簽有雙方學費減免協(xié)議的被筑波大學錄取的學生，可以享受學費減免。不過，有交換協(xié)議不代表你自動享受學費減免。有資格享受學費減免的學生的人數根據學生交換協(xié)議來定。如果申請人數超過了享受學費減免的人數名額，則不減免學費，即便學生所在的大學與筑波大學簽有雙方學費減免協(xié)議。詳情請咨詢所在大學的國際辦公室。
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.非合作大學的學生申請
兩類學生都需要支付筑波大學學費。交換生的學費以單位學分計算，目前單位學分學費是 14,800 日元。交換研究生學費以每月計算，目前每月學費為29,700 日元。
交換生必須在每個學期開始的時候支付學費。
交換研究生必須在第一學期開始的時候支付整個交換期間的學費。
