Japan International Gakuen University (Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture) will add a category for part-time high school students to its comprehensive selection process from the 2025 entrance exam. It will also incorporate the special selection process (correspondence high school selection process) that began in 2024 into the comprehensive selection process, creating a total of five categories to secure diverse talent.
According to Japan International School University, from the 2025 entrance exam, the comprehensive selection category will be divided into five categories: [Comprehensive], [Part-time], [Correspondence], [Global Mind], and [Overseas Roots], allowing students to choose the exam format from a variety of entrance exam categories. Applicants will be able to choose from four selection methods, including document screening, interviews, and presentations. Applications will be accepted from September, with four selection periods by December. For more details, please check the 4 Student Recruitment Guidelines and the university's website.
In addition, the school will also start a designated school scholarship system that will exempt students who are deemed particularly outstanding from paying all or part of their tuition fees for up to four years as special scholarship students from designated schools among those who pass the school recommendation selection process, as well as a system of exempting students from tuition fees based on the acquisition of qualifications designated by the university or on academic achievement.
In addition, if an applicant with overseas roots who meets the application requirements selects the "Japanese Culture and Business Model," a tuition reduction or exemption system will be applied to the student, and support will be provided to help improve the student's Japanese language skills and ensure that they are not at a disadvantage financially or in terms of language, thereby nurturing human resources who can contribute to society.
