270 master's programs at 73 Japanese universities — all taught entirely in English, no Japanese required at entry.
🎓 Filter Master's Programs →Master's programs in Japan typically run two years and emphasize research over coursework. The key difference from Western admissions: you need a supervising professor's agreement before applying. Use the kenkyusei (research student) route if you need 6–12 months to connect with a lab and prepare for entrance exams. MEXT scholarships cover tuition plus a monthly stipend for master's students, and many national universities offer tuition waivers based on academic merit. September intakes are increasingly common alongside the traditional April start. Expect to produce a thesis and defend it — Japanese graduate education is research-intensive.
