What is included, and which documents
This comparison uses the first-year amount made up of the admission fee and the Faculty of Economics Academic Fees and Expenses. For 2025, for example, it is 1,468,350 yen: the 200,000 yen admission fee plus 1,268,350 yen in academic fees and expenses.
For 2023 and 2025, PEARL's academic fees were checked directly in the PEARL Application Guide. For 2022 and 2024, the official Faculty of Economics fee table was used, so note that the scope of the source differs.
This does not predict future fees. Always check the latest amounts on Keio University's fees page and in the latest Application Guidebook.
Compared with SILS
SILS's first-year published cost for 2026 is 1,693,000 yen. The difference from PEARL's 1,508,350 yen for 2026 is 184,650 yen.
However, fee definitions such as association fees are not exactly the same at the two universities, so we avoid presenting this as a like-for-like comparison. SILS's history is in Waseda SILS tuition history.
How should you think about four years of costs?
Multiplying the first-year cost by four does not give an accurate total. The admission fee is paid only once, and tuition may be revised during your studies. Study abroad and scholarships also change the real burden.
What the history is for
It is not for predicting future increases. It helps you understand that today's cost is not fixed, so you can leave some room in the family budget.
Summary
PEARL's first-year cost rose about 11.9% between 2021 and 2026. When comparing universities, look beyond the current amount to the revision history, scholarships and how study-abroad fees work, so your plan stays realistic. ICU's history is in ICU tuition history.
