How the official university routes work

Ranking route

The school is supported by the official ranking/university route source. This route can support the same capped +10 university bucket.

MEXT Top Global / Super Global route

Some Japanese universities can be supported through MEXT Top Global or Super Global source material. This is also an alternative into the same +10 bucket.

Innovative Asia route

MOFA/JICA Innovative Asia partner-school status is not the ranking route. It is a separate source-backed route into the capped university bucket.

These routes are alternatives, not stacking bonuses. Use the HSP university bonus guide, the Innovative Asia guide, methodology, and sources pages when you need source context.

Philippines university bonus FAQ

Can graduates of Philippines universities get Japan HSP university bonus points?

Some graduates may be able to support the +10 minister-designated university bonus if their school qualifies through an official ranking, MEXT, or Innovative Asia route and the applicant has the required evidence.

Do Innovative Asia schools need to be globally ranked?

No. Innovative Asia partner-school status is a separate official route. A school can qualify through Innovative Asia without being shown as ranking-based in JapanPR.

Can ranking and Innovative Asia routes stack?

No. Ranking, MEXT, and Innovative Asia are alternative routes into one minister-designated university bucket capped at +10 total.

What documents are needed?

Prepare graduation or degree proof, official source evidence for the claimed route, and translation or name-match evidence if your documents use a different school name.

What if my school name differs on my documents?

Treat that as a manual review item. Older names, campus names, abbreviations, and translated names should be tied back to the official source before relying on the points.
