Application Procedure

Short-term Courses

The following courses fall into the category of the short-term courses:

Language Proficiency Requirement

Writing and reading “hiragana” and “katakana” are required for all applicants. Prospective students with no experience of Japanese study need to be prepared before a course begins.

Academic Deadlines

Students, in general, must apply for a short-term course one month before its start date. However they, except beginners who have studied Japanese for less than 50 hours in total, can start taking an ongoing course at any time during the academic term as long as the class has availability, and their proficiency in Japanese is level with the class level.

*For information on important dates, refer to the class schedule.
