Institute of Science Tokyo publishes this figure without stating which year it applies to, so it may already be out of date. Treat it as a starting point and check the course page for the current rate. Flag it below if you know it has changed.
GSEP's own admissions page states this figure directly, alongside a separate JPY 282,000 enrollment fee (one-time) and a JPY 17,000 application fee, with a caveat that 'enrollment and tuition fees are subject to change' — no academic year is named on the fees section itself, hence undated. GSEP is Institute of Science Tokyo's own international-admissions track (formerly Tokyo Institute of Technology, merged with Tokyo Medical and Dental University into Institute of Science Tokyo in October 2024), open only to international applicants applying through this specific program, not a separate international rate layered on a domestic degree. Students who win the MEXT scholarship (see the cost note below) pay neither the enrollment fee nor tuition at all.

GSEP recommends 8 outstanding applicants each cycle for the Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholarship: MEXT recipients pay no enrollment fee or tuition at all, and receive a monthly stipend of JPY 120,000 for all 4 years (plus air tickets to/from Japan under certain conditions) — contingent on maintaining a minimum 2.3 GPA. Applicants who don't receive MEXT can separately apply for a JASSO (Japan Student Services Organization) scholarship paying JPY 48,000/month for one year (April 2027–March 2028 for this cycle) — JASSO recipients still pay the application, enrollment and tuition fees themselves. Neither is a guaranteed award: MEXT is capped at 8 recommended applicants per cycle and JASSO is competitive, so kept here rather than as a scholarships entry.

- Application deadline
- GSEP runs one intake per year for April enrollment, with applications opening in mid-to-late August the year before. The most recently published window (12–21 August 2026, for April 2027 enrollment) has already closed as of writing — GSEP's own page also flags that its admission selection process is changing starting with AY 2028 enrollment (selection to be conducted in AY 2027), so check GSEP's own admissions page directly for the next cycle's exact dates and process rather than assuming this pattern repeats unchanged.
