Designated School Recommendation

The Designated School Recommendation is an exclusive admissions system built on a relationship of trust between universities or vocational schools and Japanese language schools, open only to students enrolled at designated institutions. Applicants must obtain a recommendation from the school principal, after which universities and vocational schools conduct screenings through document review, interviews, and other assessments.Since designated school status is granted based on each Japanese language school's admission track record, students can only apply through this system if their school has been designated. Our school has been granted a significant number of designated recommendation slots from many universities, including Tokyo International University, as well as professional universities and vocational schools. Compared to general entrance examinations, the Designated School Recommendation offers a higher likelihood of acceptance as it is an exclusive single-choice application system, and many of our students take advantage of it every year.
