English Computer Science Master's with Scholarship in Japan (2027)
English-taught Computer Science Master's programs in Japan with full scholarship coverage are the path of least resistance for international applicants. No JLPT required, tuition + stipend covered, 2-year duration. The combination of MEXT scholarship + Computer Science + Master's + English-track is the highest-leverage application a non-Japanese-speaking STEM grad can make.

Frequently asked questions
Which scholarship covers everything?
MEXT covers full tuition + ¥144,000/month + airfare for 2 years. OIST is free + ¥2.4M/year stipend. Honjo + Heiwa Nakajima foundations add ¥150,000/month on top.
What's the realistic timeline?
For April 2027 entry: research universities + supervisors July–October 2026; apply MEXT University Recommendation September 2026–January 2027; receive results April 2027; arrive April 2027. Embassy track is earlier (apply May 2026, results September 2026, place November 2026, arrive April 2027).
Is the application competitive?
Yes — single-digit acceptance rates at top labs. Strength of research plan + supervisor pre-contact matter more than test scores.
