Accepting foreign students
Accepting foreign students
The 51 national technical colleges nationwide accept international students from various countries and regions. Many of these students are students receiving scholarships from the Japanese government (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) (government-sponsored students) and students sent by foreign governments (government-sponsored students). We promote the internationalization of technical colleges by accepting international students.
Government-sponsored international students
After arriving in Japan, government-sponsored international students receive one year of preparatory education at the Japan Student Services Organization Tokyo Japanese Language Education Center (JASSO), an independent administrative agency, and then transfer to their third year of technical college.
Government dispatched students
After receiving preliminary education in their respective countries, government-sponsored international students come to Japan and transfer to the third year of technical college.
We currently have government-sponsored students from Malaysia and Mongolia.
Thai government scholarship international students
Since 2018, we have been accepting students from Thailand's Princess Chulabhorn Science High School into their first year of technical college. Also, starting in 1, we are accepting students from Thai National College of Technology as third-year transfer students at Japanese technical colleges.
Privately financed international student
We accept foreign students who have completed 11 years or more of the Japanese school education system (second year of high school) into their third year of technical college. We are promoting the acceptance of privately-financed international students, such as by implementing a joint selection process for transfer admission of privately-financed international students to national technical colleges nationwide.
