Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • A qualifying 12-year school curriculum completed by 30 September, or another accepted international qualification.
  • The usual international-school route also requires at least two of the final three secondary-school years outside the Japanese education system.
  • Selection assesses transcripts, essays, school recommendations and an interview.
  • Maths and physics preparation matter; published recommended test scores are not guaranteed-admission cutoffs.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • The linked English appendix accepts IELTS Academic 6.0, DET 110, or TOEFL iBT 80 on the earlier scale / 4.0 on the revised scale.
  • IELTS One Skill Retake is accepted.
  • Three consecutive secondary-school years taught primarily in English, including the final year, can support an exemption with signed, stamped school evidence.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • October 2027 is the G30 undergraduate entry cycle.
  • The Mechanical Engineering track lists two application rounds; second-round availability must be checked for the selected programme rather than assumed across G30.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • First round: 2 November 2026 at 09:00 to 19 November at 12 noon JST.
  • Second round: 5 January 2027 at 09:00 to 21 January at 12 noon JST.
  • Shortlisted applicants have separate original-document deadlines before the interview stage.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • The G30 finance page publishes JPY 535,800 tuition per academic year and a one-time JPY 282,000 registration fee, with the same tuition for Japanese and international students.
  • The finance tariff is undated, not a guaranteed future fixed price.
  • Application charges are separate; follow the selected 2027 round's payment instruction because general and application pages display different amounts.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • Eligible applicants can request G30 and university-recommended MEXT consideration during the programme application, submitting the scholarship form and supporter-income evidence.
  • The G30 scholarship can cover four years' tuition, with registration reimbursement and an allowance.
