Tohoku Bunka Gakuen University

1. 1

   The short answer

   Tohoku Bunka Gakuen University is a public university in Japan that offers postgraduate study at the master’s level. It suits applicants looking for a single-subject graduate option in social welfare and clinical psychology.

2. 2

   What you can study

   The university lists one programme: 社会福祉学専攻 臨床心理学領域（修士課程）, which is a master’s-level programme in the social welfare field with a clinical psychology focus. No other subjects or degree levels are listed, so the programme catalogue should be checked on the official website if you need additional options.

   Getting in

   International applicants should apply through the university’s own admissions process and check the official website for entry requirements, deadlines, document rules, and any language or qualification conditions. The university publishes only a small programme list, so confirm that the master’s programme accepts international students and what documents are required before applying.

4. 4

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a tuition fee range. Confirm the current fee and any other charges with its admissions office, and plan separately for living costs in Japan, which will vary by city and lifestyle.

5. 5

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not published, so confirm that before applying. If you are moving from abroad, also check whether the master’s programme accepts international applicants, what visa documents you need, and whether the university asks for proof of Japanese or other language ability.

   How it compares

   Japan has 571 universities, and this one sits at the smaller, more specialised end of that market because it lists only one master’s programme. That makes it a better fit for applicants who already know they want clinical psychology within social welfare, rather than those looking for a broad choice of degrees.
