Study Abroad Information
To study at a Japanese university or graduate school, students are required to have sufficient language skills to be able to handle classes conducted in Japanese in most cases.
In order to understand specialized content and to complete reports and presentations, students need to be able to speak Japanese at a daily conversational level or above.
In addition, since the requirements and examinations for admission vary by university and department, it is important to gather information and make comparisons from an early stage in order to choose the school that best suits your needs.
Admission dates, application schedules, scholarship availability, and support systems also vary from school to school.
The key to success is to have multiple options and to prepare carefully in order to create a study abroad plan that is right for you.
