[SAK University] Application Acceptance Begins for Early Transfer System for Spring 2026 Enrollment — Information Sessions Also Held for Prospective Students —

SAK University Tokyo Innovation Campus (hereinafter, SAK University), an international education partner officially recognized by the University of Essex, UK, began accepting applications for its Early Transfer System (Restart Special Enrollment) on Wednesday, April 1, 2026.

This system allows students to re-evaluate their career path based on their future aspirations and aptitudes, even if they feel a mismatch after enrollment, without being bound by the premise of "continuing a chosen path for four years."

It enables a "career change" that doesn't waste time, rather than "restarting" a career choice.

At SAK University, students can learn Computer Science, AI, and Cybersecurity in Japanese while gaining access to international standard education within Japan. In response to the evolution of the AI/IT fields, which traditional higher education often struggles to keep up with, SAK University fosters skills applicable to a wide range of industries and international careers through a British-style curriculum that integrates "theory, practice, and research" with an emphasis on exercises and implementation.

This selection process will be conducted via the Comprehensive Selection method.

Please refer to the application guidelines for details, including required documents.
