Can I still apply to the University of Tokyo PEAK programme for a 2027 or 2028 intake?
No. The University of Tokyo discontinued PEAK after September 2026, its final recruitment cycle, so there is no 2027 or 2028 intake. Undergraduates can apply to the new UTokyo College of Design (applications 15 October to 5 November 2026) or use Japanese-taught programmes with the EJU exam.
No, there is nothing to apply to. The University of Tokyo discontinued PEAK, its English-taught undergraduate route, after September 2026, and that was the final recruitment cycle. Students already admitted continue until graduation, but no new intake is planned for 2027 or 2028.
What happened to PEAK
| Point | Status |
|---|---|
| Programme | PEAK (Programs in English at Komaba) |
| Status | Discontinued after September 2026 |
| New intake | None planned |
| Admitted students | Continue through to graduation |
| Typical acceptance rate | Around 8% to 15% in its last few cycles (reference only) |
What international applicants can do now
| Study level | Typical acceptance rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Undergraduate (EJU route) | Around 10% to 20% | Japanese-taught route; varies by faculty (the College of Design is a separate option) |
| Master's | Around 40% to 55% | Depends heavily on professor approval and research fit |
| PhD | Around 60% to 75% | Research-based selection |
Graduate admissions were never part of PEAK, so they are unaffected.
My Advice
If you wanted an English-taught undergraduate degree, widen your shortlist beyond this one university. If you want Todai for a Master's or PhD, your route is unchanged, so start by identifying professors whose research matches yours. Treat all acceptance rates as rough guides, not predictions.
