All other students must submit the required English language test score. Please refer to each School/Graduate School’s requirements for the kinds of score accepted, and advise your students to take necessary tests in advance. Similarly, students who wish to study on a Japanese taught programme mustsubmit a JLPT certificate.

Please be aware that the choices of English courses available to undergraduate exchange students are quite limited, and undergraduate exchange students cannot take any courses related to lab work/experiments.

-       Please make sure students upload the grading scale/explanation of grading criteria with their transcripts, since this is often forgotten.

-       Please make sure that the Official Certificate of Enrollment includes all the necessary information. Please also advise your students to write the same graduation date on their application forms as schedule on the Certificate of Enrollment.

-       If a student has taken a leave of absence due to military service or other reason, please make sure he/she explains this on a separate sheet and upload it together with the other documents.
