110 bachelor's programs at 38 Japanese universities — all taught entirely in English, no Japanese required at entry.
🎓 Filter Bachelor's Programs →English-taught bachelor's programs in Japan let you earn a degree without Japanese language requirements at entry. Most programs span four years, with intakes in April (the Japanese academic year) and increasingly in September. Tuition at national universities runs around ¥535,800/year (~₹3.2 lakh), while private universities range from ¥800,000 to ¥1.5M/year — still far below comparable US or UK options. Many programs offer tuition waivers of 30–100% based on academic merit. You'll graduate with a recognized Japanese degree and, critically, work authorization through Japan's post-graduation job-hunting visa.
