You sure? After reading :

" 2. Qualification Requirements
2-3. Academic background
(1) Graduate of a School of Veterinary Medicine with a six-year course
(2) Graduate of a School of Medicine or Dentistry with a six-year course
(3) Graduate of a Graduate School Master's course
(4) Graduate of eighteen years of formal education outside of Japan
(5) Recognition by this Graduate School as having the academic ability equal to a graduate of a School of Veterinary Medicine with a six-year course "

If I'm not compleely wrong it seems like you need to have studied veterinary before you attend to this "project". But I'm not sure, I might be wrong.
