If you’ve been dreaming of studying abroad but recent changes have made the U.S. feel like a less certain option, it might be time to consider a new path—one that leads to Japan.
Yes, Japan!
While Japan may not be the first country that comes to mind when thinking about English-taught graduate programs, it’s rapidly becoming a favorite among international students who want world-class education, cultural depth, and an incredibly safe and organized place to live. Plus, when you go through DEOW Japan, the whole process becomes much more approachable, especially for those who are new to the idea of studying in Asia.
Why Study in Japan?
Japan offers a unique blend of cutting-edge technology and centuries-old traditions. For graduate students, this means access to advanced research facilities and a cultural immersion that goes far beyond textbooks. Here are just a few reasons to put Japan on your academic map:
- Affordable Tuition and Free Healthcare: Many universities in Japan offer competitive tuition rates, and international students are eligible for Japan’s national health insurance—giving you access to high-quality care for just a small monthly fee.
- Safe, Clean, and Efficient Living: Japan consistently ranks among the safest countries in the world. Its cities are clean, its public transportation is famously punctual, and even the vending machines are impressive.
- Learn Japanese While You Study in English: Many graduate programs are offered entirely in English, but you’ll also have the chance to study Japanese and deepen your connection to the culture. Whether you’re into anime, traditional arts, or just want to order ramen with confidence, you’ll pick up skills that last a lifetime.
- Post-Graduation Opportunities: Japan is actively encouraging skilled international graduates to stay and work. With a master’s degree from a Japanese university, especially one in STEM fields, your career options in Japan—and across Asia—open up significantly.
Kyoto University of Advanced Science (KUAS)
One standout option is the Kyoto University of Advanced Science (KUAS), which offers an innovative Graduate Program in Engineering taught entirely in English. Located in one of Japan’s most historic and picturesque cities, KUAS combines the charm of traditional Kyoto with a forward-thinking curriculum that focuses on real-world, practical skills.
What makes KUAS unique?
- English-Taught Curriculum: No Japanese proficiency required to start.
- Project-Based Learning: Hands-on, collaborative projects help prepare you for the global engineering job market.
- Industry Connections: KUAS has strong ties with companies, giving students real opportunities for internships and employment.
- Supportive Environment: From application to graduation, international students receive tailored support—especially when applying through DEOW Japan, KUAS’s official partner.
