◼

Detail information:-Duration of the program: 6 months-

Amount of class: 3 consecutive classes every day from Monday to Friday from 8:45 am - 2:30 pm(15 classes per week/ 16 weeks in total)-

If you attend 90 % of all the classes, you will receive the certificate of completion in the end.

◼

Important notes-

Once you start the “Preparatory education of Japanese Language”, you are not allowed to quit
because it is difficult, time-consuming, not fun, and so on.

-This education program lasts 6 months before enrolling in your actual study course (Researchstudent/ Master’s course student / Doctoral course student), thus prolonging your study duration
at Hokkaido University 6 months longer.

-

This is a very intensive Japanese course, and you must dedicate yourself to completing all theclasses and assignments.

-We cannot guarantee that you can be in a program “Preparatory Education of Japanese Language”
in case of a large number of applications.

-If you are not sure whether you can manage the Preparatory Education of Japanese Language,
there is one more Japanese language course called “General Japanese Course”.

It is not as

intensive as “Preparatory Education of Japanese Language”. This is not an individual course;
therefore, you will be taking this course as a Research student / Master’s Course student / Doctoral
course student. However, please note that, in the case of a large number of applications, there isa possibility that you cannot take this course.
【Research student】-

This is a non-regular student.

-You are not allowed to take any classes while you are a Research student, but you will be supervisedby your supervisor.

【Master’s course student / Doctoral course student】-This is a regular student.
