University of Tokyo

The UTokyo Global Unit Courses (UTokyo GUC) is a short-term, intensive summer program organized by the Center for Global Education at the University of Tokyo.

Designed primarily for university students worldwide, UTokyo GUC offers a unique opportunity to study at Japan’s leading academic institution.

All courses are taught by the University of Tokyo professors and are conducted entirely in English.
The program spans approximately six weeks, from mid-June to late July, and is divided into three terms, each lasting two weeks. Students can choose to apply for one or more courses across different terms, provided the schedules do not overlap.

The program’s small class sizes, typically around 20 students, allow for a personalized and engaging learning experience. Enrollment in each course is selective, with participants chosen through a screening process to maintain high academic standards.

IARU students are eligible for a 15% discount on the program fees.
