JP¥535,800 per year
Same rate across the institution · All students — no separate international rate
The University of Tokyo publishes this figure without stating which year it applies to, so it may already be out of date.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.
GSC's own Cost & Aid page states this as the annual tuition, paid in two installments (November and May), plus a one-time JPY 282,000 admission fee paid in September — it names no academic year or period anywhere on the page, hence undated. This figure (535,800) matches UTokyo's general undergraduate rate for those who enrolled in or before 2024; the university's separate, general Admission Fee and Tuition page states a higher current rate of JPY 642,960/year for later intakes, so GSC's own page may not yet reflect that increase — flagged here rather than silently substituted, since GSC's own page is what actually governs a GSC applicant's fee. Either way this is UTokyo's standard undergraduate rate, not a GSC-specific or international-specific one; Japanese national universities do not charge international students a separate rate. GSC is a THIRD-YEAR TRANSFER programme, not a freshman-entry degree: applicants must already have completed 2 years of undergraduate study abroad (see the entry requirements), and go on to complete their final 2 years at UTokyo before receiving a UTokyo Bachelor of Science. Every student admitted also receives the automatic 'Faculty of Science Scholarship' (JPY 150,000/month) plus fully rent-supported housing, for up to their 2 years on GSC — see the cost note below.

Every GSC transfer student automatically receives the 'Faculty of Science Scholarship' — JPY 150,000 per month for up to two consecutive years — plus University-arranged housing with fully supported monthly rent for the same period (utilities and internet are the student's own cost). Between the scholarship and the housing support, this goes well beyond covering the JPY 535,800 annual tuition for most admits. Not a competitive, criteria-gated award — every successful GSC applicant receives it automatically, which is why it is recorded here rather than as a named scholarship entry.
