Program Overview
HOSEI University has accepted students from overseas for many decades to develop the university’s international activities. For a more progressive internationalization, we start Japanese Language Program (JLP) for non-degree students who are non-native speakers of Japanese. This program offers a wide range of study levels and subjects for students who have N4 level or higher of the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). It also, as one of objectives, focuses on attaining Japanese proficiency required for study at university undergraduate and graduate level, and business in future career. Our educational goal is to develop internationally competent students capable of communicating in Japanese and contributing to a global society. We open our door to any foreign students who are eager to learn Japanese language and culture at a university in Japan.
