JEP-J participants take a Japanese Language Placement Test before or during the Orientation
period and are assigned to a suitable level. Students are then offered a selection ofsupplemental (and completely optional) subjects in Ryukoku University’s regular
Faculties/Graduate schools based on their language level. Those with sufficient Japanese
language skills may also select subjects taught in Japanese. In principle, however, students
base their studies in the JEP-J study course.
