You can choose from two courses.
This course consists of Course A and Course B. Both courses start in April or September.
Course A (College student visa – preparatory education curriculum)
Students learn the Japanese language in the morning and the basic subjects* in the afternoon. This course allows those who have a school education of less than 12 years to obtain a qualification to enter a Japanese university (preparatory education curriculum).
* Students must have an intermediate or higher level of proficiency in the Japanese skills.
This course provides two English language lessons in the morning per week during the summer and autumn semesters.
Course B (College student visa – other than the preparatory education curriculum)
Students learn the Japanese language in the morning, and can take the basic subjects in the afternoon as an option (an additional fee will apply). We recommend taking this course if you do not need to learn the basic subjects (not planning to go on to a vocational school, graduate school, etc.).
