1. How much is the tuition fee for one year of postgraduate study in Japan?
Tuition fees for graduate students in Japan generally consist of three parts: examination materials, admission fees and coursework materials.
Test materials: 9800 yen
Admission fee: only needs to be paid once, 84,600 yen
Tuition materials: Tuition fees during the postgraduate period are calculated on a monthly basis, 29,700 yen/month, as introduced by Weilan Study Abroad. However, it is usually paid together with the fee for half a year. This is only 350,000 yen per year, which is equivalent to half of the language school tuition. Therefore, postgraduate study at a Japanese university is the cheapest among all stages of studying in Japan.
Private universities have their own completely different charging standards and items. Some charge by credit, some by academic year, some only have two fees, and some have countless fees. They are not very uniform.
Tuition fees for postgraduate studies in Japan during master’s degree:
(1) National public university
Test materials: 30,000 yen,
Admission fee: 282,000 yen,

Usually, when the first-year monks enroll, the tuition fee to be paid is about 50,000 yuan. Of course, there is no admission fee and test materials in the second year, and you only need to pay 535,800 yen in tuition materials.
Another special situation in terms of monk fees is that the tuition fee for law graduate courses in some schools is 804,000 yen per year, totaling: 1,116,000 yen.
(2) Private universities
The tuition fees for master's degrees at private universities are generally between 800,000 and 1,500,000 yen, and there is no uniform standard.
2. How much is the living expenses for one year of postgraduate study in Japan?
There is a large gap in the cost of living in different regions in Japan. Japanese universities have also compiled statistics on the cost of living in relevant regions.
1. How much does it cost to live in Tokyo for one year of studying abroad in Japan?
According to statistics from the University of Tokyo, the average monthly living expenses of graduate students (students studying master's/doctoral programs) at the school is 137,061 yen, which is about 7,000 yuan.
In addition, the University of Tokyo also stated that due to Japan’s unique eating habits, international students’ food expenses in Japan are generally higher, no less than 40,000 yen (approximately 2,000 yuan).
2. How much is the living expenses in Nagoya area for one year of studying abroad in Japan?
According to statistics from Nagoya University, including food, accommodation and other expenses, monthly living expenses range from 77,000 to 11,700 yen (approximately 4,000 to 6,000 yuan).
3. How much does it cost to live in Osaka for one year of postgraduate study in Japan?
Osaka University has given living expenses suggestions for exchange students for reference. The school recommends that you prepare 100,000-120,000 yen per month for living expenses (approximately 5,000-6,000 RMB).
The above is for reference
(1) Accommodation fee
The dormitories provided by the school are very limited and generally cannot be applied for. However, you can choose an apartment that is slightly more expensive but has good conditions. It usually has a separate bathroom and kitchen, which can meet everyone's needs. It costs 3,000-5,000 yuan per month. Students with relatively small budgets can choose various forms of shared accommodation. In this case, everyone needs to share public spaces, but various expenses can be shared, which can greatly reduce the financial pressure of studying abroad, which is 2,000-3,000 yuan per month.
(2) Meal expenses
If you cook and eat by yourself, your monthly expenses will be around 1,500 yuan. If you go to a restaurant or cafeteria to eat, a meal usually costs about 30 yuan, so the monthly expense will be about 3,000 yuan, which is relatively expensive.
(3) Transportation expenses
Weilan Study Abroad recommends that you live close to the school so that you can walk every day. If you usually go out to play, the transportation fee is about 300-600 yuan.
To sum up, the one-year tuition fee for a graduate school in Japan is about 50,000-90,000 yuan, and the living expenses are about 50,000-70,000 yuan. The total annual cost is about 100,000-150,000 yuan.
The above is the tuition and living expenses for one year of postgraduate study in Japan introduced by Weilan Study Abroad to students. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
