Established in 1982, the Japan campus of Temple University (TUJ) is a full-service branch campus that educates students from nearly 80 countries in English in its undergraduate programs, graduate programs (law, business, graduate education), and non-degree programs (continuing education and corporate education).

Every semester, additional students from Temple’s main campus and other universities converge on our campus for a short-term study abroad experience. Moreover, TUJ has just opened its Kyoto location in Spring 2025, offering students opportunities to study in the storied cultural capital of Japan.
In one of the most dynamic cities in the world, we offer thirteen full undergraduate majors ranging from Art to International Business to Psychological Studies. Our faculty and staff are international, with approximately 80 full-time faculty joined by experienced administrators and many part-time adjunct faculty from the professions, business, and the arts.
