2026 Fall Intake: Applications Closed

Applications for entry on October 1, 2026 closed on April 17, 2026. The information below is a historical reference for that intake, not an open offer. A future fall application period and continuation of this support have not been confirmed. Contact us for guidance and check TMU announcements before applying.

Biology Degree in English

A four-year undergraduate Biology programme at Minami-Osawa Campus. Students can complete the 124 credits required for graduation in English, studying areas such as molecular and cellular biology, genetics, ecology and evolution, laboratory and field work, and research. This English route does not imply that every TMU degree is available in English.

Support for October 1, 2026 Entrants Only

The January 20, 2026 official announcement describes the following support for eligible participants in this intake. Eligibility and detailed conditions must be confirmed with TMU; this is not an unconditional all-expenses guarantee for every international student or a promise for a later intake.

• Examination, admission and tuition fee exemptions; rental exemption for the designated Global House Chofu dormitory, subject to the published eligibility conditions.
• Travel support for selection, enrollment and graduation using the most economical route. Eligibility depends on the applicable residence and detailed university conditions, not an unrestricted flight allowance.
• Monthly stipend: JPY 100,000, or JPY 150,000 when not residing in a TMU-designated international dormitory. Housing, travel and stipend eligibility and contents depend on actual residence and separately issued conditions. Confirm other personal expenses and housing costs with TMU.

Future Intakes and Separate Admission Routes

Confirm the next Biology intake, eligibility, fees and support directly with TMU. The separate AY2027 selection based on a nationwide university entrance examination had an August 14-18, 2026 application window, also closed. It is not evidence that the 2026 fall scholarship applies to that route. No next fall deadline or funding commitment is advertised here.
