Tertiary education is also offered by a variety of institutions including junior colleges and technical colleges (educational institutions covered by laws other than the School Education Law).
Universities require applicants to pass an entrance exam, although some schools admit on the basis of a recommendation.
[Application Criteria]
(1) The applicant must be at least 18 on April 1 of the year in which they intend to enter the university.
(2) The applicant must fulfil one of the following conditions:
a) have completed or expect to complete their education at a Japanese senior
high school (does not apply to international schools)
b) have passed the High School Graduation Level Accreditation Examination
(the former University Certification Examination)
(A uniform exam is held across Japan, which examines that the candidate’s academic level is equivalent to having finished a high school education. Anyone who is sixteen or over may take this exam.)
c) have completed 12 years of school education overseas
*The application procedure normally starts in January, with entrance examinations being held in February and March. For further details contact the university.
*The procedure for overseas students is different.
