Nippon Sport Science University: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Nippon Sport Science University is a public university in Japan with campuses in Setagaya, Tokyo and Aoba-ku, Yokohama. It suits students who want to study at an institution focused on sport science and who are comfortable checking programme details directly with the university.

  2. What you can study

    The university is known for sport science. The available facts do not list specific degree programmes or subject areas beyond that, so the full programme catalogue should be checked on the university website.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should check the university website for the current application route, entry requirements, and document list. Because the university’s published details here do not specify language requirements, deadlines, or selection steps, those points need to be confirmed with admissions before applying.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish tuition fees in the available information; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Tokyo and Yokohama should also be planned for separately, since those expenses will depend on housing, transport, and daily spending.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The language of instruction is not stated, so confirm that before applying. A student moving from abroad should also check visa support, entry requirements, housing options in Tokyo or Yokohama, and whether the chosen programme accepts international applicants.

  6. How it compares

    With 571 universities in Japan, this university sits in a large and competitive national system. Its main distinguishing point for an international applicant is its clear focus on sport science and its presence in Tokyo and Yokohama, which may make it more specific than a general-purpose university choice.

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.
