Tamagawa University: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Tamagawa University is a public university in Machida, Tokyo, Japan, and it suits applicants who want an institution with both undergraduate and graduate study options. It is a reasonable choice if you are looking for a broad university structure rather than a single-subject college.

  2. What you can study

    The university has 16 departments in seven undergraduate faculties, plus seven master’s programmes and four doctorate programmes. One listed programme is 連合小児発達学研究科[浜松校].

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions process and check the website for entry requirements, required documents, deadlines, and any programme-specific conditions. If you are applying from abroad, confirm whether the programme you want is available in a suitable language and what documentation the university asks for.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a tuition fee range in the available information; confirm the current fee with its admissions office. Living costs in Tokyo should also be planned for separately, as accommodation, transport, and daily expenses will affect your budget.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The teaching language is not stated, so confirm the language of instruction for your programme before applying. You should also check visa support, document requirements, deadlines, and whether your chosen course is open to international students.

  6. How it compares

    Japan has 571 universities, so Tamagawa University sits in a large national higher-education system. Its main distinction is its size of academic offering: undergraduate study across 16 departments in seven faculties, plus master’s and doctorate programmes, which makes it broader than a small specialist institution.
