A master’s degree in Medicine & Health Sciences is for applicants who already have prior university study and want advanced training, research, or a specialist route into the field. It suits someone aiming to deepen subject knowledge rather than start at undergraduate level.

The universities in this set are public. Several are in major urban settings, while others are in smaller-city environments such as Tottori, Yamagata, and Yamaguchi, so location is a real part of the decision. Fees are published for some programmes and not for others, so you should compare the stated tuition carefully and confirm any missing cost details directly with the university.

Before applying, verify the exact programme title, tuition, admission requirements, language of study, and application dates for the specific master’s you want. Also confirm whether the degree is taught, research-based, or a mix of both, and check any document or entrance-exam requirements with the university.
