Tokyo University of Foreign Studies Admission Requirements 2027 for International Students

Requirements

Bachelor

The School of Japan Studies English-Speaker Track admits applicants who have completed secondary education and are not yet proficient in Japanese. First screening reviews transcripts and an English proficiency score; TUFS states a TOEFL iBT equivalent of 72 for this track. A second-stage online interview follows for shortlisted applicants.

Master

TUFS graduate schools, in particular the Graduate School of Global Studies, offer English-medium routes for specific programmes; the HIPS dual degree with Central European University is limited to five TUFS students a year and is not a general international application route, so it is not listed here as a standalone intake.

Documents

Academic transcripts, a certificate of graduation or expected graduation, an English proficiency test score report, and application materials submitted through the TUFS online system. The application fee is paid through the Flywire international payment platform.
