There are two types of admission for undergraduate students: as regular or non regular students (research students and auditors, unclassified or non-degree) admissions.
All classes and lectures at each Faculty or School are conducted entirely in Japanese, even to foreign students. For this reason it would be desirable if international students achieve a proper level of Japanese before admission.
As for research students, policy varies from faculty to faculty. For further information, students should contact the person of the administrative section of the Faculty they wish to enter.
For regular students, the duration of education is generally 4 years and the Bachelor's degree is finally granted upon completion of the program required.
However, for students in the Faculties of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, the duration of the educational program is generally 6 years, and the degree of Bachelor of Medicine, Dentistry or Pharmacy is granted upon completion of the program.
