Intensive Japanese Language Course

Intensive Japanese Language Course is a 6-month “preliminary education” for the government-sponsored international students. It focuses on intensive training in basic and practical Japanese and provides additional background information that are useful on their life in Japan. A variety of classes are offered to correspond with the language abilities of each student. The course spans two semesters, the first from April to September and the second from October to March, with each semester consisting of 16 weeks. A Certificate of Completion of the Course will be given upon its successful completion.
