Overview

The TKT CAMPUS Asia Consortium consists of three world-class universities in the field of science and technology in East Asia: Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech), Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and Tsinghua University (Tsinghua).

The Consortium’s objectives are: providing students with a strong motivation toward being globally oriented future leaders; nurturing participating students into becoming globally competitive human resources; and enhancing higher-quality education in Asia.

Initially, the Consortium will implement several forms of exchanges such as (a) semester long exchanges with course study and/or lab work, (b) summer programs and (c) research-oriented joint educational programs. The Programs are offered to advanced undergraduate students, master students and doctoral students. Students in all departments of the three universities may join the programs.

After three years’ practice of these programs, the Consortium will build a common understanding of establishing a dual degree program for selected areas of specialty. This dual degree program is an advanced research-oriented educational program.

Tokyo Tech, KAIST and Tsinghua are also core members of the ASPIRE League (Asian Science and Technology Pioneering Institutes of Research and Education). For more information about the ASPIRE League, please visit the following website.
