Kochi University, situated in Japan’s scenic Kochi Prefecture, is a national institution that embraces a strong commitment to academic research and regional collaboration. With a diverse range of programs in the humanities, sciences, and agricultural studies, the university provides an intellectually enriching environment for both domestic and international students. Its focus on global outreach and sustainable development enhances its academic offerings and makes it an attractive destination for students worldwide.
To help ease the financial demands of higher education, Kochi University offers the university’s Tuition Exemption for graduate students, which grants either a half or full tuition fee waiver based on individual circumstances and academic merit.
Beyond university-funded support, international students can apply for external awards such as the prestigious Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholarship. This fully funded program is available to students at all degree levels and includes coverage for tuition, round-trip travel expenses, and a generous monthly stipend—¥117,000 for undergraduates and between ¥143,000 to ¥145,000 for research-level graduate students.
