| The qualifications
for admission differ according to the type of higher educational institution
you would like to enroll in. The details are as follows. |

A student who has completed his or her
secondary education (include high school) and school education for 12
years or more outside of Japan will qualify for admission to a Japanese
university. A student educated in a country where primary and secondary
education (include high school) lasts for less than 12 years will become
qualified for admission if he or she completes a college preparatory
course designated by the Japanese Minister of Education, Culture, Sports,
Science and Technology, and if the student is over 18 years old.
Those who have qualifications such as an International Baccalaureate
or Abitur and are aged at least 18 years are also qualified for admission
to a Japanese university. |

A student who has completed prescribed
courses at an institute of higher education outside of Japan will qualify
for admission to a Japanese graduate school if the student has completed
16 years of school education (18 years for those enrolling in doctor's
programs in medicine, dentistry or veterinary science).
Those who are recognized as having academic ability equal to or above
that of a college graduate and are at least 22 years in age (24 years
in the case of doctor's programs in medicine, dentistry or veterinary
science) also qualify for admission to a graduate school. |

A student who has completed his or her
secondary education outside of Japan can transfer to a Japanese college
of technology if the student has reached the appropriate age, and
if the student is recognized as having an academic ability equal to
or above those in the grade that the student would like to transfer
into. |

With the exception of Japanese-language
institutes, a person must fulfill the following two conditions in
order to qualify for admission to a special training college:
1)They must have completed 12 years of
schooling (inclusive of completion of secondary education) outside
of Japan. However, because secondary education may last only 10 or
11 years in some countries, such students will become qualified for
admission after completion of a college preparatory course for entrance
designated by the Japanese Minister of Education, Culture, Sports,
Science and Technology, and if they are aged at least 18 years.
2)They must meet one of the following
three criteria and have the Japanese-language ability needed to study
in the special training college.

a Japanese-language institute accredited by the Association for
the Promotion of Japanese-language Education and notified by the
Minister of Justice.
- Is certified at Level 1 or 2 of
the Japanese Language Proficiency Test given by the Association
of International Education Japan and the Japan Foundation.

of education at a Japanese elementary, junior or senior high school.
