Yokohama City University

1. 1

   The short answer

   Yokohama City University is a public university in Yokohama, Japan, and it suits applicants looking for a small, undergraduate-focused institution with an established place in the region. It is a practical option if you want a bachelor’s degree and are interested in studying at a university with international connections.

2. 2

   What you can study

   The university lists one programme area at bachelor’s level, with 理学療法学科 as the example programme. That means the current catalogue appears very limited, so applicants should check the official website for the full and current list of undergraduate options before applying.

3. 3

   Getting in

   International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions process and confirm the entry route, required documents, and deadlines on the website. Because the public information is limited, it is important to check whether your chosen programme has any separate entrance requirements, language requirements, or document translation rules before you submit an application.

4. 4

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a tuition fee range in the available information, so confirm the current tuition and any additional charges with its admissions office. Living costs in Yokohama should also be budgeted separately, including housing, transport, food, and daily expenses.

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not stated, so check this directly for your programme before applying. If you are moving from abroad, confirm visa steps, document requirements, housing, health cover, and whether your chosen course is open to international students.

   How it compares

   Japan has 571 universities, and Yokohama City University sits on the smaller side of that landscape with around 4,850 students, two faculties, four campuses, and two hospitals. Its profile is narrower than many larger universities, so it is a better fit for students who want a focused public university rather than a broad multi-faculty campus.
