Why explore Japan?
Japan combines Japanese-medium degrees with selected English-taught and research pathways. The official JASSO study portal helps students compare institutions, entrance assessments and academic costs; preparation should start with programme language and eligibility rather than assume one national admissions route.
Start with the subjects that interest you, then compare specialisations, course modules, teaching language and practical learning at your shortlisted universities.

Include tuition, accommodation, food, transport, health cover, travel, visa charges, deposits and required financial evidence. Confirm currency, annual increases and refund conditions. Do not assume part-time work will fund your education.
Ask about university, government, programme and research funding. Awards have their own eligibility and closing dates and may cover only part of your costs. No scholarship is guaranteed by a counselling or application service.
Opportunity, with context
Career outcomes depend on skills, experience, language, recognition, local demand and employer decisions. A degree is not a job, visa or permanent-residence guarantee.

Helpful answers

Ask a counsellorSubjects to research include Engineering, Computer Science, Life Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Public Policy. Compare the exact programme, modules, teaching language, accreditation and entry requirements before shortlisting.
Undergraduate: Check school qualification equivalence, required subjects and the selected route's entrance examinations, which may include EJU or institution-specific assessment. Postgraduate: Relevant recognised prior degree, programme assessment and any research proposal or supervisor process. Requirements differ between research-student and degree-student status.
At the University of Tokyo, the current published annual tuition is ¥642,960 for undergraduate students entering under the new schedule and ¥535,800 for most master's/professional programmes, with a ¥282,000 admission fee. Exceptions apply; these are one university's fees. Add accommodation, daily living, insurance, travel, visa costs and any required financial evidence. An offer-specific budget is more reliable than a national average.
April is important in the Japanese academic calendar, while selected international programmes begin in September or October. UTokyo's English graduate list shows programme-specific intakes; check the named course. A start month is not an application deadline. Check your exact programme and scholarship closing dates, then allow time for documents and immigration processing.
Do not assume student status permits employment. Check separate permission and the applicable restrictions through the official study portal and immigration authority before working.
