What level of English do I need to study in Japan?

I am a university student in Kyoto, Japan, and I hope my understanding can help you. As far as I know, general language schools have low requirements for Japanese language proficiency, so you can apply as long as you have a little grasp of simple everyday language. In general, these language schools require students to provide an F grade or higher on the JTEST (minimum level) or N4 or higher on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test.

As a general rule, students are required to have a score of N2 or higher on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) or at least D on the JTEST. Of course, if you want to go to a prestigious school, the requirements will naturally be higher, you can pay attention to their official website information. There are also many who go to Japan for graduate and doctoral studies after graduating from university.

For these students, it is generally required to have a Japanese language level of N1 (the highest level). However, there are also some majors, such as those taught in English, or those that do not require a high level of language such as arts, which may require an N2 grade.

If you want to study in Japan, you must be able to speak Japanese. But what level of Japanese do you need to achieve? This is probably not very clear to most students. So let's find out with me.

Japanese Language Schools:

To have a high school diploma (12 years) or above, the Japanese language proficiency must be equivalent to the Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level 4 or JTEST-F or higher. In addition, you must be able to pay for studying abroad, have a strong will to study abroad, and have a clear purpose for studying abroad.

Junior College:

You must have a high school degree or higher (12 years) or above, have a Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level 2 qualification certificate, be able to pay for studying abroad, have a strong will to study abroad, and have a clear purpose for studying abroad.

Nihon University:

Students must have a high school degree (12 years) or higher, have a Japanese language level equivalent to the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) Level 2 or higher, be able to pay for studying abroad, have a strong will to study abroad, and have a clear purpose for studying abroad. There is no requirement for Japanese language proficiency for international students who study abroad at schools that offer English-taught majors, but there are very few such courses.

Graduate School:

Students must have a bachelor's degree (16 years) or equivalent, have a Japanese language proficiency equivalent to the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) Level 2 or higher, be able to pay for studying abroad, have a strong will to study abroad and have a clear purpose for studying abroad, and do not require Japanese language proficiency for international students majoring in English.

When studying in Japan, many people subconsciously think that it is enough to learn English well in the application to study in Japan. My generation of people who want to study abroad grew up with ABC in elementary school, and when they wanted to study in Japan, they realized that they didn't know a single word in Japanese. Let's talk about the English language requirements for studying in Japan.

Students who want to enter a prestigious Japanese school are especially anxious, and they can't memorize the dense fifty-syllable diagram for a while. For a while, I really worked hard, but I couldn't go back.

In fact, there is no need to rush at all! If you have a good level of English, you can still apply to a prestigious school in Japan. This is because many of Japan's top universities offer programs that are taught in English, so if you are confident in English, you can be admitted regardless of your Japanese level.

It is particularly gratifying to note that the universities that often offer English language instruction are some of Japan's most prestigious and glittering public universities. The purpose of offering English as the language of instruction is to provide a more high-quality and international educational environment for outstanding students in Japan and international students from overseas. This means that if you study in Japan for such a major, you will have more opportunities to meet excellent Japanese students and international students from all over the world.

Science majors are the main majors that offer these courses, and most of the liberal arts majors are business and economics.

In short, if you speak English fluently and have a preference for Japan's preferential treatment of international students, there is no need to hesitate!
