Long-term Course

Full-time Japanese-language preparation at the Tokyo or Osaka-Namba campus. The current admission page lists one-year, 18-month and two-year programs, with April and October entry. Confirm which duration is open for your chosen campus and intake; do not assume every combination is available. Applications for April normally arrive by the end of October, and for October by the end of May. Confirm the target year, available places and actual deadline.

Classes on weekdays, morning or afternoon according to campus/level placement. Obtain the current timetable and term dates from the selected campus; the old page’s exact times are not a confirmed current schedule. Level placement, compulsory Japanese subjects, JLPT preparation, elective EJU support and life/progression guidance are described on the current lesson page. Class availability and separate conditions apply; no test pass or university entry is guaranteed.

Foreign nationality; 12 years of formal education, an accepted equivalent or school-recognized high-school-level academic ability (consult for fewer than 12 years); capable financial sponsor; Japanese ability equivalent to A1 or above on the Japanese-language education reference framework. The school verifies this using Japanese tests such as JLPT/J.TEST/NAT-TEST or other objective evidence. Applicants who have already spent more than one year at another Japanese-language institution under Student status are not accepted. The earlier N4-only statement is not the current published requirement. Documents and interview are evaluated by the university; COE and visa remain subject to immigration screening.

The current official totals above are tax included and cover the entire program. First-year fees are 996,000, not the full 18-month/two-year total. Textbooks are included in education-resource fees. National health insurance, living/housing costs, transport and international remittance fees are additional. Obtain the campus/intake-specific invoice, remaining payment schedule and written cancellation/refund policy before payment. Older 2023 forms and fee sheets differ from the current program website and must not be used as a current quotation.

Admission-Fee Reductions

At application, JLPT N2 or above / NAT-TEST level 2 or above: full admission-fee reduction; JLPT N3 / NAT-TEST level 3: half. These refer to the admission fee, not full tuition. Confirm evidence and approval before deducting any amount. The official lesson page also states that Bekka graduates progressing to this university have an admission-fee exemption; confirm the degree program’s separate selection and conditions.
