Admissions Eligibility
Applications will be accepted from graduates with a sufficiently
high level of technical skill, where required. It is however
not essential
to have
previously majored in the intended field of interest.
Since
all classes are taught in Japanese, a high level of Japanese language
proficiency is essential (see sidebar).
Please refer to our Japanese- language website for full details of KSU's Graduate
Schools.

of a suitable course, contact KSU’s Office of Academic
