When studying abroad, tuition is always a topic that cannot be avoided. Although Japan is one of the most cost-effective countries to study in, not every family who wants to study in Japan can afford it. Today, the Azure study abroad teacher will solve your doubts: how much is the tuition fee of a Japanese university in a year? Is it expensive?
As we all know, there are three types of universities in Japan: national, public, and private, such as the national university cluster led by the seven former imperial universities, and there are also private universities such as Keio, Waseda, and MARCH. The funding of Japanese national and public universities is mainly funded by the Japanese government, and the tuition fees are uniform. Private universities are self-managed, self-financed, and have different fees depending on the school and major, which is mainly based on the school's official website. It is said that private universities are expensive, but how much is the difference between them and public universities? Let's take a look with the Azure study abroad teachers:
Generally speaking, the annual tuition fee of Japanese public universities is about 38,000 yuan, including 535,800 yen + admission fee of 282,000 yen = 817,800 yen (38,000 yuan/year), of which the tuition fee is paid once every six months, and the admission fee is only collected in the first semester. In addition, the tuition fee of public universities in Japan is generally 535,800 yen per year, regardless of discipline.
Examples of University of Tokyo tuition:
However, each private university in Japan that offers a graduate school system has its own completely different fee standards and items, some are charged by credit, some are billed by academic year, some only have two fees, and some have countless fees, which completely reflects the "capriciousness" of private universities.
Private universities in Japan are led by Waseda University and Keio University, so here we take Keio University tuition and Waseda University tuition as examples to understand how much private university tuition costs in Japan:
Keio University Seminary Tuition: (Partial)
Waseda University Seminary Tuition: (Partial)
It is not difficult to see that the total annual tuition fee of the University of Tokyo is 817,800 yen (about 37,500 yuan), while the tuition fee of the Faculty of Arts, Economics, Law, and Commerce of Keio University is lower, with a total annual tuition fee of about 1.3 million yen (about 60,000 yuan). In this way, in the annual tuition fee, private universities are only 20,000 yuan more expensive than national universities, which is really not much. However, the tuition fees for majors such as graphic science and engineering, pharmacy, and medicine are relatively high.
In addition, both public and private universities will have a generous scholarship mechanism, the difference is nothing more than that the national and public scholarships are mostly provided by the national government, while private universities are provided by large consortia. However, the competition for scholarships in public universities is fierce, while the competition for scholarships in private universities will be relatively less, and when the time comes, the tuition fees of private universities may be lower than those of national and public universities. So you need to look at which private university and what major.
