Yes, no Japanese language proficiency is required at the application.

If deemed necessary (based on their Japanese language ability), successful candidates will be provided with preliminary Japanese language lessons before the commencement of the Preparatory Course. The tuition and textbook fees will be covered by the university.

All successful applicants must take a placement test to assess their Japanese language proficiency before starting the Preparatory Course in October. Students are divided into beginner to advanced-level courses based on their results. In addition to Japanese language education, the Preparatory Course also offers classes in foundation subjects to compensate for the differences in curricula between students' home countries and Japan. Every student is therefore required to take the Preparatory Course.
