Study in Japan
Studying in Japan: preparing your Japanese
From language schools to degree programmes, Japanese requirements vary widely. Start early and aim a level above the minimum.
How language fits into the journey
- 1
Choose your programme type
Japanese language schools, English-taught degrees and Japanese-taught degrees all have very different language expectations.
- 2
Check each institution's requirement
Universities may ask for a JLPT level or the EJU (Examination for Japanese University Admission).
- 3
Plan your timeline backwards
The JLPT is held in India typically in July and December, plan which session you need results from.
- 4
Build real communication skills
Lectures, group work and part-time life need listening and speaking beyond exam practice.
What level is usually expected?
A general guide only, every employer, school and programme sets its own requirements.
| Level | Where it commonly helps |
|---|---|
| N5–N4 | Often a starting point for Japanese language schools |
| N3 | Helpful for vocational schools and daily student life |
