Privately Financed International Students Entrance Examination (for Courses Taught in Japanese)
Undergraduate courses taught in Japanese start in April. Applicants have to take the Privately Financed International Students Entrance Examination for admission, and it will be conducted in Japanese.
Since privately financed international students have to take the same classes as Japanese students, a high level of Japanese language proficiency is required for admission.
For more information about applying to Tohoku University, please visit the Admission Center website. (Only available in Japanese.)
In addition, applicants are also required to take the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) in either June or November of the previous year. Details about the EJU can be found here.
