Hiroshima International University: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Hiroshima International University is a university in Japan that appears to focus on health, rehabilitation, nursing, pharmacy, and sports-related study. It suits applicants who want a Japan-based option in these subject areas and are comfortable checking the university’s official admissions details carefully, especially if applying from abroad.

  2. What you can study

    The university has six faculties: Health and Medical Sciences, Comprehensive Rehabilitation, Health and Sports, Health Sciences, Nursing, and Pharmacy. That makes it a strong fit for students looking for study in health-related fields, rehabilitation, sports, nursing, or pharmacy. A full programme catalogue is still being compiled, so confirm the exact degree options and entry routes on the university website.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should check the university’s official admissions pages for the current application steps, required documents, deadlines, and entry requirements. Because the university’s student categories and programme details need to be confirmed case by case, it is important to verify whether your chosen faculty accepts international applicants and whether any entrance examination or language requirement applies.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a tuition fee range; confirm the current tuition and any other mandatory charges with its admissions office. Living costs in Japan will depend on your housing, transport, food, and personal spending, so budget separately for those expenses.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The university’s language of instruction is not published, so confirm that before you apply. If you are moving from abroad, also check visa support, document translation requirements, application deadlines, and whether your intended faculty has any separate conditions for international students.

  6. How it compares

    Japan has 571 universities, so Hiroshima International University sits in a very large higher-education market. Its main point of distinction is its concentration in health, rehabilitation, nursing, pharmacy, and sports fields, which can be useful if you already know the area you want to study and prefer a university built around those subjects rather than a broad general mix.

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.
