TUJ's rolling-admissions procedures allow students to apply year-round. Applicants can apply for admission to TUJ up to three semesters in advance and are encouraged to apply as early as possible to secure their enrollment for a future semester. Admissions decisions are typically released within four weeks.

Applicants who need a student visa must submit all student visa application documents by the final visa application deadline.  Access to the visa application is granted as soon as an applicant receives their admissions decision, if admitted to the university. Please prepare the required documents in advance.

Admission Application Deadlines

Completed applications, including all required documents, must be received by 17:00, Japan Standard Time, on the application deadline.
