All 3 notes
  • Sophia sets the fees for each year in September of the year before entry, so the tuition shown is the AY2026 rate; a first-year also pays a one-off ¥200,000 entrance fee.
  • April entry also exists, but its application periods end in 2026; an IB student finishing in May 2027 uses the September 2027 intake.
  • The Green Science and Green Engineering programmes took their last first-year students for autumn 2026 and are not open for 2027.
