Shortlist a few and we'll compare them side by side and assess each one.

Sophia University (Japanese: δΈŠζ™Ίε€§ε­¦, Hepburn: Jōchi Daigaku; Latin: Universitas Sedis Sapientiae) is a private Jesuit research university located in Tokyo, Japan. Founded in 1913 by the Jesuits, it was granted university status in 1928, becoming the first Catholic university in Japan. The institution is situated in the Chiyoda ward of Tokyo at Kioi-cho 7-1 and is named after the Divine Wisdom of Sophia, while also widely known by its European designation.

The university comprises 9 undergraduate faculties and 10 graduate schools, serving a total student body of over 13,900 individuals. This includes 12,080 undergraduate students and 1,357 postgraduate students pursuing advanced degrees. Academic programmes reflect a strong emphasis on comprehensive research, critical inquiry, and the Jesuit tradition of liberal arts education.

Situated in the heart of Tokyo, Sophia University offers an international learning environment well-suited for prospective students from around the globe. Its central location provides direct access to the cultural, economic, and academic hubs of Japan, creating a supportive ecosystem for cross-cultural academic pursuits.

What admission to this university costs

Our published prices are for China, where the process is worked out to the detail and the price is fixed. Everywhere else the amount of work varies case by case, so we quote after we have understood your situation. Inventing a figure before that would not be honest.

Common questions about admission

Why apply through UNIPROFI specifically?

UNIPROFI is about a well-thought-out application and a strong outcome: we build an application path around your profile, goals and the requirements of your selected universities. You work with mentors who are current students or graduates of these schools, so you get real understanding of the system, campuses and opportunities β€” not theory. We take on complex cases (including minors and admission without an 11th-grade diploma), build an individual strategy for your profile and goals, and support you through every stage, from documents to your visa.

Do you guarantee admission?

We don't offer "guarantees for the sake of a sale," because no one can directly influence a university's decision. What we do is structure everything to minimize the risk of rejection β€” matching you to the right universities, building a strong application strategy, and preparing documents carefully. Any refund or re-application arrangement is governed only by the current service agreement and the circumstances of the case.

What are my actual chances of getting in?

We do not state a universal admission probability because the decision belongs to the university. We instead assess your profile, programme requirements and application strategy.

Can I apply on my own β€” why do I need you?

You can, but most students end up losing time, making mistakes, or settling for weaker universities. We save you months, help you start at a stronger level, and prevent the mistakes that can cost you admission.
