No entry requirements apply and no placement tests are conducted. However, students should contact the Programme Coordinator if in doubt about their appropriate entry point. As an incentive to study hard, exchange scholarships with Japanese universities are awarded annually. Almost every paper is delivered both internally and extramurally at the Turitea campus. Some civilization papers are delivered entirely in English and are open to all students.
Japanese nationals are welcome, pursuing a special course of study designed for native speakers.
Many other international students also successfully complete our papers. At the Albany campus, papers in Japanese language are offered up to the 200-level, permitting students to combine the study of Japanese with their major area of study, for up to three years of consecutive study if they enrol as beginners. Note that the Diploma is the equivalent of the first half of an MA and after completion of the Diploma, a Masters Degree also can be obtained by writing a Thesis for 100 points. This option is particularly suitable for those not able to be internal students. Programme executes the following policy on studies for higher degrees.
