Meiji Gakuin University: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Meiji Gakuin University is a university in Japan with campuses in Minato, Tokyo, and Yokohama, Kanagawa. It suits students who want an institution with a Japan-based campus setup and are comfortable checking current programme and admissions details directly with the university.

  2. What you can study

    The university’s programme catalogue is not published in the information available here, so the subject areas and degree options cannot be confirmed. Check the official website for the current list of programmes and the language and level of each course before applying.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions process and confirm the current entry requirements, document list, deadlines, and whether their chosen programme has any language or entrance-test conditions. The university’s website is the place to verify the latest application route and contact details for admissions.

  4. What it costs

    A tuition fee range is not published in the information available here, so confirm the current fee with the university’s admissions office. Living costs in Tokyo and Yokohama should be planned for separately, including housing, transport, food, and insurance.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The university does not state a language of instruction here, so confirm that before applying. Also check whether your programme is on the Tokyo or Yokohama campus, what visa support is available, and which documents you need for enrollment from abroad.

  6. How it compares

    Among 571 universities in Japan, Meiji Gakuin University stands out for having campuses in both Tokyo and Yokohama. That makes it a practical option for students who want a university with a presence in two major areas, but programme choice and entry requirements still need to be checked directly on the university site.

Written from this university's catalogue entry and its cited encyclopedia summary. Figures are only shown where the institution or a cited source publishes them — always confirm fees and entry requirements with the university itself before applying.
