Japan College of Social Work is a public university in Kiyose, Tokyo, for students interested in social-work study in Japan. It suits applicants who want a Japan-based institution with tuition set at the national-university level rather than typical private-university pricing.
The institution’s name shows a focus on social work. No subject list or programme catalogue is published in the facts here, so confirm the exact degrees, majors, and admission tracks on the university website before applying.
International applicants should check the official website for the current application route, required documents, deadlines, and any Japanese-language or entry-test requirements. Because detailed admissions rules are not published here, confirm the process directly with the admissions office before you apply.
The tuition level is described as the same as other national universities, even though the institution is public. A specific fee amount is not published, so confirm the current tuition with the admissions office; living costs in Tokyo will still need to be planned separately.
The language of instruction is not published. Before applying from abroad, confirm the teaching language, whether you need Japanese-language proof, how to submit documents from overseas, and whether student support is available for visa and arrival steps.
Among 571 universities in Japan, this institution stands out as a social-work-focused college rather than a broad multi-faculty university. Its main practical distinction is cost: tuition is described as matching national universities, which may make it more manageable than many private options in Japan.

Japan College of Social Work is a private university in Kiyose, Tokyo, Japan, established in 1958. Formerly the JCSW was called Japan School of Social Work and established by the GHQ, Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan in 1946. Therefore, the tuitions of the college are the same as other national universities, although being a private university. Government subsidies cover the other remaining costs, except for the tuitions paid by students.
