The OCU application guidelines for privately financed international students who would like to start studying at the undergraduate level from April 2013 are now available.

The application guidelines specify the exact requirements, necessary documents and application procedure to apply for entry to Osaka City University. The application guidelines can be viewed online (PDF format), but to apply you need to first obtain a paper copy of the application guidelines, which includes the official application form and envelope.   

If you are in Japan, there are several ways to request a paper copy of the application guidelines. For the available methods, please see: http://www.osaka-cu.ac.jp/ja/admissions/undergrad/application

If you are outside Japan, you can request a paper copy of the application guidelines per post (see below).

To obtain a copy of the Application Guidelines including an official Application Form and envelope from outside Japan:

By post:

1. On the front of an envelope, please write or type in red ink ‘Application Guidelines’. On the back of the envelope, please write your full name, postal address, Zip/post code, telephone number and email address.
2. Please enclose a stamped return envelope (24.0 x 33.2 cm) bearing your own full name, address and Zip/post code.
