| Privately
financed foreign students are accepted at Japanese universities and
graduate schools, etc., in one of two ways:
i)The student is accepted after domestic
or foreign selection upon applying directly to the school from his
or her own country.
ii)The student first enrolls in a
private Japanese-language institute and completes preparatory education
of about one-year in duration. The student then applies to the school
of his or her choice.
In either case, a student needs to go
through the selection process designated by the particular university
or graduate school. In many cases, a student will have to sit for
an entrance examination in Japan.
Because the process differs according
to the university(http://www.jasso.go.jp/study_j/schinfo_e.html)
or graduate school(http://www.jpss.jp/eng/index.html),
please be sure to confirm the selection process.

1)Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students
The Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) (http://www.jasso.go.jp/eju/index_e.html) is a test carried out by the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) since 2002. It serves to evaluate whether foreign students who wish to enroll at the undergraduate level at a Japanese university, etc., possess the necessary Japanese language skills and basic academic abilities to study at such institutions. EJU is also available in designated areas overseas and some universities, etc., use the EJU score to grant pre-arrival admission without the need for prospective students to travel to Japan. There is a reservation program for the Honors Scholarships for Privately Financed International Students that is available after enrollment to a university, etc., to examinees who achieve a superior score on the EJU.

2)Japanese Language Proficiency Test
The Japan Foundation (overseas examinations) and the Japan Educational Exchanges and Services
(domestic examinations) hold the Japanese Language Proficiency Test to evaluate the level of
examinees' Japanese language proficiency.

Students wishing to enroll in a full-time
master's or doctor's program as well as those wishing to become research
students generally need to go through a documentary examination or
entrance examination either in Japan or abroad. It may also become
necessary for the student to find and obtain the informal consent
of a supervising instructor prior to application. Please inquire at
the graduate school to which you intend to apply for details.
