Master's Degrees in Japan

Master's & Postgraduate Study in Japan

A master's degree in Japan can deepen your expertise, open career doors, and — in many countries — include post-study work rights. Use this guide to plan a competitive postgraduate application.

• Entry requirements. Programs in Japan typically expect a relevant bachelor's degree, a solid GPA, proof of English, and — for business or quantitative fields — GRE or GMAT scores. Some also require work experience.
• Funding & scholarships. Look into university scholarships, government schemes, and assistantships. Funding is competitive, so apply early and prepare a strong statement of purpose.
• Deadlines & careers. Note application windows and any post-study work visa options, which can be a key factor when choosing a program and city.
