<h1>3 years</h1>

<p>According to <a href="https://web-japan.org/kidsweb/explore/schools/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">web-japan.org</a> (emphasis mine):</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The basic school system in Japan is composed of elementary school (lasting six years), middle school (three years), <strong>high school (three years),</strong> and university (four years).</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Considering that U.A. is a high school, we can conclude that students study for three years before graduating and becoming professional heroes.</p>

<p>However, it may be important to note that in Season 3, Episode 22:</p>

  <p> Class 1-A was able to obtain their provisional hero licences, allowing them to do limited work as pro heroes.</p>

<p>Knowing this, this could change the answer to:</p>

  <p> <strong>Under 1 year.</strong></p>

<p>So far from the anime I remember there is a Class A and a Class B for students, and in episode 24th from season 3, 3 students from a superior year appeared to give a talk to the students from Class A. How many years do hero students study at U.A. until they become professional heroes?</p>

According to [web-japan.org](https://web-japan.org/kidsweb/explore/schools/) (emphasis mine):

> The basic school system in Japan is composed of elementary school (lasting six years), middle school (three years), **high school (three years),** and university (four years).

Considering that U.A. is a high school, we can conclude that students study for three years before graduating and becoming professional heroes.

However, it may be important to note that in Season 3, Episode 22:

> Class 1-A was able to obtain their provisional hero licences, allowing them to do limited work as pro heroes.

Knowing this, this could change the answer to:

> **Under 1 year.**
