What should an international student ask at Open Campus before choosing an engineering university in Japan?
At Open Campus, ask about the curriculum in your intended department, laboratory and research-project arrangements, and the languages used in classes and examinations, including any Japanese-language requirements. Also ask about international-student eligibility and selection, tuition and scholarships, housing, academic and daily-life support, internships, and possible post-graduation pathways so that you can compare universities on concrete points.
Key points
- Confirm eligibility, required documents, language requirements, and the admissions schedule for international applicants.
- For engineering programs, ask about laboratories, facilities, when and how students join laboratories, and how the graduation project is conducted.
- Check the languages of instruction, international-student support, tuition, housing, scholarships, and career support.
Things to check
- Requirements and support can differ by university, faculty, program, academic year, and individual circumstances, so verify the latest details in official information as well as at the event.
