Nara Women's University

1. 1

   The short answer

   Nara Women's University is a public national women's university in Nara, Japan. It suits students who want a women-only national university and are looking for one of the two such institutions in the country.

2. 2

   What you can study

   The university is a national women's university. No subject areas or programme names are published here, so the programme catalogue should be checked directly on the university website.

3. 3

   Getting in

   International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions process and check the current entry requirements on the university website. Because programme-level requirements are not given, confirm the application route, documents, deadlines, and any entrance screening directly with admissions.

4. 4

   What it costs

   The tuition fee is not published. Confirm the current cost with the university’s admissions office; living costs in Nara should be planned separately and will depend on housing, transport, and day-to-day spending.

5. 5

   Coming from abroad

   The university is in Japan, but the language of instruction is not stated. Before applying, check the teaching language, admission route for international students, visa requirements, and whether the programme you want is open to applicants from abroad.

   How it compares

   Japan has 571 universities, and Nara Women's University sits in a very small group within that system because it is one of only two national women's universities in the country. That makes it a specific choice for students who want a public women’s university rather than a general coeducational institution.
