Before you apply: five checks for this college

  4. Get the fee schedule and admission letter from the school's own office, not from an agent, and pay only to the school's account.
  5. Search the agent, consultancy or website you are dealing with on the fraud alerts page before paying anything.

What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001159) — 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 4.4★ — 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.

This panel is generated from data on this page (WDOMS listing and student reviews) plus general precautions that apply to any MBBS admission abroad — it is not a claim, positive or negative, about this specific college beyond what's shown here.

💬 Student Reviews

Real reviews from students.

??

The smell around the Faculty of Agriculture building made me faint... Also, I tried a sake called "Nagomi Sakura" that was apparently made by the Faculty of Agriculture, and when I tried it with a friend, it had quite a high-spirited taste. I don't recommend it... but I don't have any grudge against the Faculty of Agriculture.

H6F3

It is the university with the most well-equipped research facilities in the Tokai region, providing an environment where students can concentrate on their academic studies. It has many research buildings on a vast campus in Nagoya City. There is also a forest on the campus where hornets and other insects can appear.

hirohisa mizutani

Many of the buildings have been renovated, and the equipment is up to date, so the atmosphere is completely different from the old lab. It's bright and open, and the break areas are modern and well-maintained, which surprised me. It's no wonder that six Nobel Prize winners have been awarded in the 21st century.

Ramon Chen

One of Japan's top universities, easily accessible via the Meijo Line. My first impression was seeing banners dedicated to Nobel Prize winners. It's a large university with a free museum, well worth a visit. However, the lake at Nagoya University is... awful, not particularly aesthetically pleasing.

????

On January 8th, around 8pm, I got off the bus in front of Nagoya University and was crossing the street when a man on a motorbike hit me with a series of loud, vulgar sneezes. This made me realize once again how lucky I am that none of my relatives attend Nagoya University.

Ji-Le Tolimao

Huge, quiet, with some beautiful architectures and fields. The university has a mixture of old and new buildings, old and new facilities, historic and contemporary designs. There's a Nobel Peace Prize museum here too. My favorite part of this place is the Toyoda field.

asedehu

Although it is difficult to make a general comparison with universities in Tokyo, the campus atmosphere is truly university-like and wonderful. I hope that this will continue to be an educational institution that supports Nagoya, even in times of regional decline.

MARGARET FURY

It is the highest ranked university in the Tokai area. However, its national position and popularity are questionable. Those who can afford it will probably go to Tokyo or Kyoto;^_^A There is now a station on the Meijo Line, which makes it very convenient.

????

This is very impressive, but the level of civility of inter-college clubs and student groups such as Yosakoi and dance clubs is low, and they make loud noises and spread out on the streets, making you wonder what kind of education they have received.

Ne mo

The campus is a 3-minute walk from Exit 2 of Nagoya University Station. Buildings vary depending on the faculty, so please refer to the map.
At the entrance to the campus is the concrete Toyoda Auditorium, which has a very beautiful interior design.

??????????

There were a lot of cool buildings, which was very informative. It's an open university, so non-students can enter freely, which left a good impression. There's a station called Nagoya University Station, so it seems like it would be easy to get to.

Steven Adiwijaya

Good place, the new building is lovely. But some areas, for example the liquid N2 storage facility look worn out, and rusty ... If an expert already checked maybe it's fine. Just from a commoner view point, it looks slightly concerning.

????

Akamiso Imperial University is the pride of Aichi Prefecture. The building facing Yotsuya Green Road has undergone renovations and is now much cleaner. It floods about once every two years. Arrests are made about the same frequency.

Ali Panjaitan

This is a wonderful university with well-maintained buildings and an excellent environment, and I have high hopes for the future of Japan in the young people who have the opportunity to study in such a place.

The best thing about Nagoya University (Nagoya University) is that it's easily accessible from the station! Get off at Nagoya University Station, go through the ticket gate, and climb the stairs to arrive!

The school is very large. It's bigger than most schools in Korea. The school is also very clean, simple, and wonderful. However, the only thing that was very disappointing was the small library.

I went there for work today, and the campus is large and divided into departments, so it's quite a distance to walk from the Nagoya University subway station to the west side, across the street.
