Special Entrance Examination for International Students,
Returnee Students & Students of International School

Our medical school conducts almost all classes in English until the end of Year 2. However, from Year-3, all classes are
conducted in Japanese since you need to cope with clinical training in Japan and to pass the National Examination for
Medical Practitioners in Japan.

Regarding the 2024 Entrance Examination, we may change the details as described in the Application Guidelines in the event that emergency
measures are required, such as measures against infectious diseases. If we take emergency measures for 2024 entrance examination, we
will inform you about it on our website.
