Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between national and private universities?
National universities charge a uniform ¥535,800/year tuition; privates range ¥1.0–1.8M/year. Nationals dominate STEM rankings; privates lead in business + humanities. National universities are MEXT-eligible by default.
Are imperial-7 universities harder to get into?
Yes — UTokyo + Kyoto especially. But the entrance bar is academic + research-fit; well-prepared international applicants with strong supervisor contact succeed at all 7.
Tuition waivers?
National universities offer 50–100% tuition waivers (separate from MEXT) for international students based on financial need + academic standing. Waivers are renewable annually.
