  4. Get the fee schedule and admission letter from the school's own office (fukumeddean@fukuoka-u.ac.jp), not from an agent, and pay only to the school's account.

What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001037) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 110 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 3.8★ — read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Japan yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

It is a well-known and popular university in Kyushu. It offers liberal arts, science, and medical courses, and also places great emphasis on athletic clubs. The campus is also very large. It is now possible to commute to school from Hakata Station by subway without changing trains, which I think has made it more convenient for students.

???????

Fukuoka University - The gymnasium next to the soccer field has dazzling lights inside. The gymnasium is at the same height as the road that runs next to it (the road leading to the intersection of National Route 202), so the lights from the gymnasium reach directly into the driver's seat, making it very bright and dangerous.

In the English class for first-year students, even if you take the class seriously, a bald foreigner will get angry at you and yell at you in English, saying that you will get a zero. You don't understand why he's scolding you, so no matter what you say, he won't listen. Please be careful of your holster.

It's spacious, but there are few students there due to COVID. The cafeteria is open for three hours from 11am to 2pm! It's cheap, filling, and fast! Two types of lunch are 470 yen, with extra rice, miso soup, and salad, and all-you-can-eat …
