Please also note the following information. During the summer vacation, some of you may have opportunities to visit your former schools or other institutions and speak with your friends, juniors, or prospective applicants. We hope the information below will be helpful when explaining the new policy.

<Tuition Fee for Students Entering in FY2027 and Thereafter>
*Details will be announced once they are finalized.
【For International Students】
 1.   Annual tuition will be reduced to the same level as that for Japanese students(JPY 642,960).
 2.   Full annual tuition will be waived for the two highest-achieving international students.
 3.   A scholarship of JPY 100,000 per year will be awarded to the ten highest-achieving international students (excluding those receiving the full tuition waiver under item 2).

Note: We will select and notify students eligible for tuition exemptions prior to enrollment. In principle, students in each academic year who meet the academic criteria will receive the above support for the duration of the standard period of study.

<Tuition for Current Students>
 ・Tuition fees for currently enrolled students will remain the same.
 ・For currently enrolled international students, tuition fees will remain the same if they advance from research student status or Undergraduate Schools to Master’s Courses, or from Master’s Courses to Doctoral Courses.
