Or did you mean Hong Kong CyberU in Hong Kong?
Or did you mean CyberU in the US?


The Japanese Cyber University (Saibā Daigaku, CU) supports fully online bachelor's degree education.

Established in 2006, it is Japan’s first four-year online university. It is operated mainly by Japan Cyber Educational Institute Ltd., a subsidiary of leading Japanese Internet firm Softbank Corporation.

When opened in 2007 the university had two departments – information technology and world heritage – each enrolling about 600 students.

Although the university was met with much English-language interest on launch, it is hard to find subsequent coverage of the university's first few years of operation. The Cyber University web site in particular offers little English-language information.

The university's main office is in Fukuoka, Japan.
