The Ritsumeikan University Tuition Reduction Scheme

International students (students who will hold the status of residence of “student” while studying at Ritsumeikan University) will receive a fee reduction through the RU Tuition Reduction Scheme. International students are offered at least a 20% tuition reduction, with 50% and 100% fee reductions offered to the most outstanding applicants.
The amount of reduction will be notified to the applicants with admission results.

The RU Tuition Reduction Scheme is offered initially for one year, based on students’ admission evaluation. In second and subsequent years, the tuition reduction is awarded based on students’ grades during the previous year of study.

*The Tuition Reduction Scheme is confirmed up to 2024 and is subject to change in subsequent years.
