This third phase serves as the final recruitment period for early transfers.
The program is designed for students who feel a mismatch in their current educational path, allowing them to reconsider their future based on their aptitude without being bound by the four-year commitment of their initial choice.

At SAK University, students can study Computer Science, AI, and Cybersecurity in Japanese while gaining access to international standards of education within Japan. The curriculum emphasizes a British style of 'Theory, Practice, and Research' with a focus on implementation and exercise, preparing students for diverse industries and international careers. Please check the application guidelines for details such as required documents.
