Japanese Language Preparatory Course (JLPC)
In addition to the services described above, in 2020, the Centre started offering the Japanese Language Preparatory Course (JLPC), a six-month online Japanese language programme. This course is designed to provide prospective international students with an opportunity to attain the Japanese proficiency level required to study at Gakushuin. This is part of our efforts to enter into partnership agreements with universities overseas offering no Japanese courses. Students from these universities who have no or limited language ability will be required to be enrolled in the JLPC. No extra fees are charged for taking this course as it is part of the exchange programme.
