Flow to enter at schools in Japan

What are the important points to enter Japanese universities and/or vocational schools in Japan? This page describes the flows to enter Japanese universities and some points to note.

I think that there're two flows to enter any universities in Japan. And the reason would depend on the country where we learn Japanese language in. Concretely, we can select a way from the next two ways in the country to learn.

  • To study Japanese language at schools in our countries.
