How to Apply (Undergraduate)
Here are the most common questions asked by applicants. If your question is not answered on this page, please contact the International Admissions Office. For questions not related to the admissions process, please click here.
What is the minimum GPA requirement for admission?
There is no minimum GPA for application. However, when it comes to accepting applicants, you can expect KUAS to be just as selective as the most prestigious engineering programs in your own country.
Do I need Japanese language skills at the time of my application?
All international programs at KUAS are taught in English, so you do not need to know Japanese before you enroll. After admission, international students take Japanese language classes to improve their Japanese fluency.
Is the content of Early Entry, Regular Entry, and Final Entry the same?
Yes, they are the same. We only have one intake per year for international students, which is broken into three different application start dates to accommodate various academic schedules. The procedures are the same, but you may only apply for one (Early, Regular, or Final).
If I start an application form online but decide not to apply this year, will my information be saved and kept online for next year’s application?
No. You will need to re-write your application.
Are application fees, admission fees, and tuition fees refundable?
Tuition fees are refundable assuming there is a valid reason, but application fees and admission fees are non-refundable.
Do I have to pay a deposit prior to enrollment?
Yes. After you have received your offer, you must pay an admission fee, first semester school fees and an association fee. The recipients of the Super KUAS-E Scholarship or the 100% KUAS-E scholarship will be subject to the payment of an enrollment deposit of 100,000 yen. The deposit will be refunded to enrolled students after the start of their first semester. Please check the Application Guidelines for more details.
Are standardized test scores required for admission?
All applicants to the Faculty of Engineering must submit standardized test results. Submission of standardized test results is optional for applicants to the Faculty of Bioenvironmental Sciences and the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration. Our university accepts a wide range of standardized test results from around the world. See the Application Guidelines on our website for a complete list.
Do you accept predicted scores and preliminary results?
Yes, we accept predicted scores for IB, A-levels, and other international curricula.
May I submit my TOEFL iBT or IELTS result after the application deadline?
No. Please submit your TOEFL iBT or IELTS results within the specified application period.
May I submit a scanned or electronic copy of my TOEFL iBT or IELTS results?
TOEFL iBT results must be sent directly to KUAS from the testing institution. IELTS results may be submitted to KUAS as a scanned copy.
The application essay calls for 300 to 350 words. Is this a minimum or a maximum?
The application essay, which is required for applications to all faculties, should be 300 to 350 words maximum. The additional essay required for the Faculty of Bioenvironmental Sciences should be 200 to 250 words maximum.
