Eligibility for Japanese university

1.Have a valid passport
2.12 years of school in your home country or an International Baccalaureate diploma (the German Abitur is also accepted by many universities).
3.Proof that you can pay all of your expenses while studying
4.Japanese language skills (not technically a requirement, but you will struggle in university courses without a working knowledge of the language)

Foreigners have an easier time getting into Japanese universities than Japanese students, mainly because the Japanese government encourages a diverse university population (the non-Asian population at most universities is still extremely low, however). In addition, the decreasing numbers of young people in Japan are translating into more space at universities.

University application requirements

• 1.References from professors/teachers
• 2.Proof that you can financially support yourself while studying
• 3.High school transcripts and/or diplomas
• 4.A valid passport
• 5.Passport-size photographs

Don´t think you will be able to apply without taking an entrance exam. While foreign students are not subjected to the sanity-bending rigours of the Japanese exams, they are required to take the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students. This includes academic and language testing, and is offered twice a year (in summer and fall, respectively). If you are applying to a university that requires English language skills and you are not a native English-speaker, you may be required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
