Entrance Examination for International Students

College of Science and Technology

The entrance examination system for international students opens up the door for applicants who are foreign nationals and provides them with qualifications stipulated by Japanese universities so that they can contribute to the improvement of social welfare and scientific progress.

Applicants must take the "Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU)" offered by an independent administrative institution called the Japan Student Services Organization to evaluate their proficiency in the Japanese language and basic academic aptitude. If an applicant has passed this entrance examination in a country other than Japan where the examination is held, this applicant is allowed to complete the enrollment procedure before coming to Japan. For further information, please contact the Nihon University Office of International Division (+81-3-5275-8116).

Eligibility to Apply for the Examination

  • International students who desire to study in Japan
  • International students who have completed 12 years of school education overseas and are expected to finish school by March 31, 2010.
