Study in Kyoto

It's affordable

Kyoto earns one of its highest scores for affordability. 

Full of culture 

With art, culture, excellent cuisines, temples and beautiful landscapes to explore, Kyoto is a student city that has it all. 

Respected by employers 

Employers think highly of graduates with degrees from one of Kyoto's universities. The city ranks among the best in the world for employer activity this year. 

Kyoto is a relatively cheap student area. According to Numbeo, the cost of a one bedroom apartment in Kyoto city centre is a little over £400 per month.

Universities in Kyoto charge tuition fees that are, on average, significantly lower than universities located in the UK or the US.

For those who want to study in Japan but feel overwhelmed by the size and pace of Tokyo, Kyoto offers city life on a smaller scale, with plenty of opportunities to explore both traditional and modern Japanese culture – from beautiful Buddhist temples, to all-night karaoke bars and an eclectic selection of pubs and clubs.

Employers see graduates from Kyoto as desirable candidates for jobs, as shown in the high score received for employer activity. Many large international companies have branches here to take advantage of the high quality of graduates.
