Tokyo Medical and Dental University: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Tokyo Medical and Dental University was a public university in Japan, and it suits students who are looking for an institution that merged into Institute of Science Tokyo on 1 October 2024. Because it no longer operates as an independent university, applicants should use the current Institute of Science Tokyo admissions information.

  2. What you can study

    The listed programme area is 大学院海洋・海事系実践科学研究院. No broader programme catalogue is published in the available information, so confirm the current study options with Institute of Science Tokyo before applying.

  3. Getting in

    This university merged into Institute of Science Tokyo on 1 October 2024, so international applicants should apply through the current institution rather than the former university. Check the official website for the active admissions route, entry requirements, deadlines, document rules, and any programme-specific conditions.

  4. What it costs

    A tuition fee range is not published, so confirm the current cost with Institute of Science Tokyo’s admissions office. Living costs in Tokyo can be significant, so budget separately for housing, transport, food, and insurance.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The language of instruction is not published. Before applying, confirm the programme language, whether your previous degree is accepted, what documents need translation or certification, and whether visa support is handled by the current institution.

  6. How it compares

    Japan has 571 universities, and this institution belongs to the group of public universities that have now been absorbed into a larger structure rather than standing alone. For an international student, that means the main comparison point is no longer the former university itself but the current Institute of Science Tokyo and the programme route it now offers.

Written from this university's catalogue entry and its cited encyclopedia summary. Figures are only shown where the institution or a cited source publishes them — always confirm fees and entry requirements with the university itself before applying.
