Is there any chance to visit the Tsukuba campus during my 4-year study?

We may offer opportunities to visit the Tsukuba campus in Japan to as part of Graduation Research. Priority will be given to high-performing students.

Is the Japanese language compulsory?

Japanese language is not a requirement for application. If applicants have any Japanese language skills,  they are encouraged to submit any evidence of this. After enrolment, the curriculum contains compulsory Japanese language and culture courses.   

Would it be possible to enrol for the coming intake in Japan and after 2 years come back to the Malaysia campus for the remaining years?

Anyone who wishes to study at the University of Tsukuba, Malaysia must study the 4-year curriculum. At the parent campus in Japan, an "internal transfer" is possible, and students can change their affiliated programme upon approval. At the Malaysia branch campus, this system might be implemented in the future. However, there is currently no plan to accept any transfer students within and from outside of the University of Tsukuba.  

I would like to know the subject offer for the University of Tsukuba, Malaysia.
