* Type of institution: National universities are generally much cheaper than private universities.
* Program of study: Certain programs (like medicine or engineering) are often significantly more expensive.
* Specific university: Prestigious private universities will have much higher tuition than less-known ones.
While you won't find a single "average," you can expect the following ranges:
* National Universities: Generally much lower, potentially ranging from ¥500,000 to ¥1,000,000 per year (approximately $3,500 to $7,000 USD, depending on the exchange rate). This is a rough estimate and can vary greatly.
* Private Universities: Significantly higher, potentially ranging from ¥1,000,000 to ¥2,000,000 or even more per year (approximately $7,000 to $14,000 USD or more). Again, this is a broad range.
