Requirements
Bachelor
TUJ admits international applicants under rolling, year-round admissions, with separate deadlines for early action and for students who do or do not need TUJ's help obtaining a Japanese student visa. English proficiency is shown through IELTS Academic 6.0 or higher, or a TOEFL iBT score at the university's stated minimum, noting that TOEFL's scoring changed for tests taken on or after January 21, 2026. Applicants below the direct-entry threshold can enter the Bridge Program or the Academic English Program instead.
Documents
Academic transcripts, a high school diploma or equivalent, an IELTS or TOEFL iBT score report (or placement into the Bridge or Academic English Program), a personal statement, and, for visa-sponsored applicants, additional documents to support the student visa application.
How to apply
- Decide whether you need TUJ's help with a Japanese student visa, since this changes your deadline.
- Submit the online application with transcripts and an English test score, or apply for the Bridge or Academic English Program if your score is below the direct-entry threshold.
- Receive an admissions decision, typically within about four weeks.
- Pay the non-refundable JPY 20,000 enrolment deposit to secure your place.
- Pay the one-time JPY 434,100 matriculation fee, the visa application fee if applicable, and the orientation fee before your first semester.
