A : The Qualifying Test will be conducted between the late January and the late February after the Preparatory Course classes end.

Q : Q11-2. What should I do if I fail to pass the Qualifying Test?

Q : Q11-3. I understand that students attend classes in Japanese during the third and fourth year. Are the classes specially customized for Kyoto iUP, or are they the same classes as offered to Japanese undergraduate students?
