About Global University in Japan
Global University in Japan is a platform designed to help English-speaking international students find English-taught universities and degree programs in Japan. Our mission is simple and clear: make it easy for students around the world to discover, compare, and apply to Japanese universities that offer English-taught programs.
What This Website Provides
To support international students, we offer:
1. University Search Tool
A comprehensive database of English-taught universities and degree programs in Japan, allowing students to search by major, location, degree level, and more.
2. Rankings Based on Student & Alumni Reviews
Our rankings highlight real experiences from current students and graduates, helping applicants understand teaching quality, campus life, facilities, and support systems.
3. Admissions Information for International Students
Clear explanations of application requirements, entrance exams, deadlines, and scholarship opportunities for English-taught programs.
4. News Related to Studying in Japan
We introduce Japanese news relevant to international students—covering visas, policy changes, campus updates, and student life—to help students understand Japan’s society and culture.
Why This Website Was Created
Many Japanese universities offer excellent English-taught degree programs, but information often does not reach international students due to:
・Limited English-language admissions information
・University websites that are difficult to navigate
・Lack of clear explanations about programs and requirements
・Insufficient global outreach
As a result, talented international students may overlook opportunities in Japan.
Global University in Japan was created to solve this problem by providing accurate, accessible, and student-friendly information in English.
About the Director
The director of Global University in Japan has extensive experience in:
・Teaching English in Japan and Singapore
・Serving as Director of a language school in Singapore
・Working as an Admissions Officer at a Japanese university, managing entrance examinations for international students
Through this experience, the director recognized a major issue: Japanese universities were not effectively reaching or appealing to international students, despite offering strong programs.
This website was founded to bridge that gap.
Our Mission: For the World & For Japan
Global University in Japan aims to:
・Support international students seeking English-taught degree programs in Japan
・Help Japanese universities connect with global talent
・Promote Japan’s internationalization through education
・Provide reliable, up-to-date information in English
We hope this platform becomes a valuable resource for both international students and Japanese universities.
