Yes, you can. There are currently several majors in which you can complete your degree entirely at TUJ Kyoto. You can also complete a degree in any program offered at TUJ by taking general education courses at TUJ Kyoto during your first and second years, then transferring to Tokyo to take courses in your major. 

Studying at our main campus in Philadelphia or the Rome campus further expands your degree options. 

Please visit Undergraduate Majors, Minors, and Certificates for more information.

The duration of study at TUJ Kyoto varies depending on several factors, including each student's major, the number of credits already completed, the course load per semester, the combination of online classes, and visa type. For more details, please contact us.

Weekends will be designated as TUJ KYOTO Engagement Day, where there will be plenty of activities planned. For a glimpse of what you can expect, please visit our TUJ Activities (Kyoto) page.

TUJ specializes in providing students with opportunities outside of the classroom. At TUJ KYOTO, we will have a team dedicated to providing you with pathways to an exciting student life that includes exploration, travel, service, and culture. It is our intent to expand our national award-winning internship program to Kyoto as well.

University-sponsored housing will be available through the university. Most university students in Kyoto reside in non-university housing such as shared houses and short-term private apartment rentals. Due to the central location of Kyoto, students can also choose to commute from nearby destinations such as Osaka or Nara.

Housing Options (Kyoto)

As Japan’s eighth largest city, Kyoto has been named the “Best Big City in the World” in recent years. It is a base for many high-technology industries and commerce, including the world headquarters of Nintendo. At the same time, Kyoto’s atmosphere is distinct from bustling metropolises like Tokyo.

Kyoto has long been an inspiration for artists, writers, students, and scholars. Its beautiful cherry blossoms in spring, vibrant autumn foliage, and well-preserved historic districts offer a visually stunning backdrop for TUJ students looking to draw inspiration from their surroundings. Kyoto is a very livable and affordable city blessed with charm and magnetism that attracts over 50 million tourists annually. Surrounded by picturesque mountains and blessed by serene gardens and scenic landscapes, Kyoto can provide a peaceful escape. Its commitment to preserving Japanese culture allows TUJ students to engage deeply with authentic practices.
