Whether you want to take advantage of what you learned back to your country in the future or whether you would like to get a job in Japan is also an important point in career selection.


People who are still suffering from course decisions should first think about what they are interested in and want to learn. If you find something that interests you, let's examine what kind of Japanese you should search for schools, faculties and courses of interest.

For example, if you want to study business at university, you can search for universities by keywords such as "Commerce", "Economics", "Business Administration". When you want to learn about design, there are keywords such as "art", "art", "art", but their meanings are slightly different. Searching for schools with the correct keywords is a shortcut to better course selection.


Also, depending on the field you want to learn, you need to choose a higher education institution suitable for your needs, such as "graduate school" "university" " Professional Training College ".

● Point 2 Whether it meets the conditions necessary for admission

In order to enter the school, it is necessary to meet the conditions of "academic achievement" " Tuition " "entrance qualification". Let's choose the school you wish to consider, depending on whether the three conditions are right for you.


The type and level of academic ability required by the school are different. In addition to the score of Entrance Examination, you may be required to have communication skills in Japanese and the attendance rate of Japanese language institutions. Let's discuss with the school of your choice in advance what kind of academic ability is required. It is also recommended that you take the EJU (EJU) or Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) before the examination year and grasp your current score. Due to the recent increase in foreign students, the passing score may be higher than the previous year. Just to be sure, the school you are going to do is not one school, but please pick up multiple schools and prepare for application and examination.


If enrollment is decided, such as enrollment fee and tuition fee, facility use fee and textbook fee, you will need a set amount of money. Let's plan ahead of time in order not to make it so that payment of enrollment fee will not make it in time even if you pass the exam all the way. Let's continue working part-time in a range where study is not negligible and calculate whether you can save the necessary Tuition. Depending on the school, Payment of Tuition in Installments is possible, and there are cases where you have funding assistance such as your own scholarship and reduction or exemption. If you need to move out, including expenses for moving to school, including expenses for moving, it is a good idea to first list up and check in advance when and how much money is needed.


In order to enroll in a Japanese university (undergraduate) · junior college · professional university · Professional Training College , in principle it is necessary to have completed 12 years of formal school education. Since there are cases where school unique requirements are sometimes required, if you are not sure whether you are entrance qualified, be sure to contact the school of your choice.


● Point 3 Think about whether the learning environment and support for foreign students are in place

The system to support studying and living for foreign students including school dormitory presence, class for foreign students, tutor system, etc. varies from school to school. Let's check not only when you are in your school, but also whether you are finished with support for your career after graduation, such as employment support and graduate employment record.

Besides that, various schools are undertaking various activities, such as universities with programs to acquire degrees only through English lessons, and Professional Training College with transferring courses to universities. Whether you can receive the support you need is also an important point in choosing your school.
