Requirements of Japanese Universities

Depending on the level of your education, Japanese universities have different requirements for all programmes. So, before applying, you need to carefully review these requirements.

For undergraduate programs, most courses in Japan universities are taught in Japanese as most universities only offer few English taught programs. It is most likely that you’ll have to learn the language first and provide proof of proficiency in the said language.

You can take a short language course of 2-12 weeks or you can sign up for a long term program.

Language schools usually teach four semesters of 10 weeks per year. If you are a beginner you can study 80 weeks at a Japanese language school and that might be needed if you want to continue in a higher education program in Japanese.

Undergraduate international students are required to write an entrance examination. The Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) is a standard examination that simplifies the process of admission to Japanese universities for international students.

The examination covers the Japanese language, science, mathematics, Japan and the World and is held biannually in Japan and selected cities outside of Japan. The examination can be written in Japanese or English (except the section on the Japanese language).

Almost all national universities and many public and private universities use the EJU as admission criteria for international students, while the others apply their own entrance exams.

The general admission period for Japanese school year starts in April and the second semester usually starts in October. Language schools often have start dates in January and July as well, and short term courses start every month at some schools.

For postgraduate programs, most universities are starting to offer international programs taught in English. These programs will no longer require examination results and are suitable for international applicants. However, you’ll need to somewhat be proficient in English. Recommended English Proficiency Tests are TOEFL or IELTS.

As an international student, you can also apply for the Japan Government Scholarships for international students.
