Tsuru University: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Tsuru University is a public university in Japan with one listed graduate programme area and a small-scale setting in Tsuru City, Yamanashi Prefecture. It suits applicants who want a municipal university with a limited programme offer and a straightforward place to confirm graduate study options.

  2. What you can study

    The only listed study option is a Master’s Degree programme area: 看護学研究科. That means the current public programme offer is very narrow, so applicants should check the university website to confirm the exact course structure, language of instruction, entry route, and whether any additional programmes are available.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should apply through the university’s own admissions process and check the official website for the current entry requirements, deadlines, documents, and any language requirements. Because the public information only confirms a Master’s Degree programme area, the applicant should verify whether the programme is open to international students and what qualifications are accepted.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a tuition fee range in the available public information; confirm the current fee with its admissions office. Living costs will depend on accommodation, transport, and daily expenses in Tsuru City and the wider Yamanashi area.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The language of instruction is not published, so confirm this before applying. A student moving from abroad should also check visa support, Japanese-language expectations, application documents, accommodation options, and whether the university accepts overseas qualifications for the programme.

  6. How it compares

    Among 571 universities in Japan, Tsuru University stands out more for its small municipal scale and limited programme offer than for breadth. If you want a large menu of subjects, it is not the right fit; if you want a focused graduate option in a smaller public university setting, it may be worth checking further.
