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?

How many years do hero students study at U.A. to become professional heroes?


# 3 years

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.**

I'll leave it to you to decide what the answer is.
