NAPI 2027
Who can apply for the NAPI Program?
Bona fide students from any course under ADMU or DLSU. They must be:
- Currently enrolled as an undergraduate student in their final two years;
- Currently enrolled as a student in a master's degree program.
When will the results be released?
Results will be released around November 2026.
How many interns will be accepted?
At most ten interns will be accepted.
What if multiple applicants are interested in the same laboratory?
Successful applicants will be assigned to one of their chosen laboratories. If the laboratory you selected is not able to accommodate you, you will be assigned to the one nearest to your field of interest. It is recommended that you choose the laboratories that match your current research interests or can provide the technical skills you wish to acquire.
What costs are covered?
The round trip plane fare (Manila to Osaka and back), transportation within Japan, and accommodations during the internship period are covered.
When do I arrive in and depart from Japan?
In principle, you will arrive in Japan one day before your internship starts and depart one day after it ends. This allows you some time to rest before and after your internship. We will arrange and book your flight tickets, so you do not need to book them yourself.
Will you assist me with my visa application?
Yes. We will provide the necessary supporting documents for your visa application. However, you are responsible for booking your own appointment at the visa application center and completing the visa application process.
What do I do once accepted?
You may send an email to your host lab's professor to introduce yourself and discuss the topics you will be working on during your internship.
