+ Advanced Course
[Tokyo International University Advanced Bridge Program (BP)]

For students studying abroad with the goal of advancing to higher education, enrolling in a Japanese language school is not the ultimate objective. After enrolling in a Japanese language school, students must prepare for university entrance exams in addition to improving their Japanese language skills; however, this program is designed with a long-term perspective, focusing on university admission after graduation from the very moment of enrollment in a Japanese language school. This program is available to students in both the Academic Advancement Course and the University Preparation Course. When selecting your course, please indicate that you wish to enroll in the “Special Advancement Bridge Program.”
The Tokyo International University Special Advancement Bridge Program is a unique program exclusive to our school, made possible by our affiliation with the university. It is designed for students who wish to enroll at Tokyo International University but currently lack the Japanese language proficiency required for admission, those who want to focus on their Japanese studies with peace of mind, and those who strongly desire to advance to Tokyo International University.
If you have Tokyo International University as your first-choice institution and demonstrate strong motivation, clear goals, and a keen sense of purpose, our school will take full responsibility for helping you improve your Japanese language skills and fulfill your dream of enrolling at Tokyo International University.

Features

  • Since I have a clear plan for my future studies after graduation, I can focus on learning Japanese with peace of mind.
  • Tokyo International University offers numerous admission benefits such as exam perks and scholarships. Please take full advantage of these exclusive benefits available only through our affiliated Japanese language school.

COURSE 03

Short-Term Auditing Program (3 to 1 month)

This course is designed for those who wish to study Japanese for a short period (1 to 3 months).
It caters to various needs, such as those who want to experience life in Japan while brushing up on their Japanese skills, or those who wish to study for a short time to decide whether to pursue more in-depth study in the future.
Students will be placed in regular classes based on their Japanese proficiency level, so the same Japanese proficiency level required for admission to the regular program is necessary. Please note that enrollment may not be available depending on capacity, so we encourage interested applicants to contact us as soon as possible.

Features

  • You can try out the course for 3 to 1 months to see if the learning style suits you.
  • You can take the same classes as regular students.
  • You can rest assured with level-based class organization.

Conditions

  • Enrollment periods: April, July, October, January
  • Japanese proficiency level required for regular classes: [April] CEFR A1 (equivalent to JLPT N5) or higher [July, October, January] CEFR A2 (equivalent to JLPT N4) or higher
  • Auditing period: 3 months to 1 month
  • Extension of short-term auditing periods and transfer to long-term courses are also possible.

The curriculum for the Short-Term Audit Program is the same as that for the Academic Advancement Program and the Academic Preparation Program; please refer to the course guide. For admission information and tuition fees, Admissions Guide / Short-Term Audit Program .

COURSE 04

Short-Term Experience Program

This program is designed for individuals with zero Japanese language ability (and beginners).
While other courses at our school require a certain level of Japanese proficiency upon enrollment, this program targets those who are completely new to learning Japanese, or who have studied a little but are largely unable to converse.
The goal is to acquire conversational skills sufficient to manage basic needs—such as "enjoying shopping in Japan" or "sightseeing freely"—while experiencing life in Japan, even during a short stay. (The focus is on conversation. While reading and writing hiragana and katakana are practiced, learning kanji reading and writing is not included.)
Please note: This program is not intended as preparatory study for admission to our regular courses.

Eligible Applicants

  • Beginners in Japanese language learning (those who have not yet reached JLPT N5 level)
  • High school students and above (16 years of age and older)
