The university’s current programme catalogue is not listed. It is best to confirm what degrees and subjects are open to international applicants with the admissions office before applying.
International applicants should check the official university website for the current application route, entry requirements, document list, and deadlines. If you need recognition of previous study, language requirements, or programme-specific conditions, confirm those with the admissions office before you apply.
The university does not publish a tuition fee in the information available here; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Japan vary by city and housing choice, so budget separately for accommodation, food, transport, and study materials.
The language of instruction is not stated, so confirm this before applying. You should also check visa requirements, whether your chosen programme accepts international students, and what documents are needed for transcripts, identification, and any language proof.
Japan has 571 universities, so this institution sits within a large national higher-education system. As a public university, it is one option among many, but the key point for comparison is to verify its current programmes and admissions details directly rather than assume they match other Japanese universities.

The University of Yamanashi , abbreviated to Nashidai (梨大)Note, is a national university that has campuses in Kofu and Chūō, Japan. The University of Yamanashi has its origin in “Kitenkan” (徽典館) which was founded in 1795 as a branch school of “Shoheizaka-School” of Tokugawa Government and was reformed into the Normal School of Yamanashi after the Meiji Restoration. In 1921 the Normal School of Yamanashi for Junior and in 1924 the Yamanashi High School of Engineering were established. After the World War II these three schools were integrated to the University of Yamanashi according to the new school system of Japan. In 1978 the Yamanashi Medical University was opened which was only a Medical University in Prefecture of Yamanashi. Today’s University of Yamanashi was founded in 2002 by a merger between (former) University of Yamanashi and Yamanashi Medical University. It is formally referred to as the National University Corporation University of Yamanashi. In 2012 the Faculty of Education and Human science and the Faculty of Engineering were reorganized and the Faculty of Life and Environmental Science was newly established. In 2016 the lifelong studies course in the Faculty of Education and Human science was abolished, and the faculty was renamed to the Faculty of Education.
