University Application Deadlines in Japan (2027)

Japan runs a mostly Japanese-taught higher education system built around one main April intake, alongside a growing number of English-taught bachelor's and master's programmes that admit international students in September or October instead. National and public universities charge the same tuition to every nationality, commonly JPY 535,800 a year plus a JPY 282,000 admission fee, though this project verified that a few leading universities now charge more. International students need a Certificate of Eligibility before applying for a student visa, and can work up to 28 hours a week alongside their studies.
