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.
Notes:
- Applicants wishing to start online (take their first semester or more online) are subject to the final deadline of the relevant semester they are applying for.
- Applicants who currently hold a student visa sponsored by another institution are subject to the deadlines for Those seeking a student visa through TUJ.
- Applicants who do not have permission to reside in Japan (via citizenship or prior long-term visa) must apply for a student visa through TUJ.
- If a deadline falls on a weekend or Japanese national holiday, the deadline becomes the next business day.
- We recommend applying early to secure your preferred campus. In the event we reach capacity, especially for applications submitted near the deadline, we may direct students to our other location in Japan.
