Reitaku University has announced that it will conduct its own Japanese language test for foreign students taking the 2021 entrance examination while the external Japanese language test is canceled or postponed due to the influence of the new coronavirus.
Reitaku University holds entrance exams for international students every year.In order for international students to take the university, they need to take the "Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students" and the "Japanese Language Proficiency Test", and their grades are stipulated in the examination subjects and application conditions.
However, due to the influence of Corona, the Japanese external examinations have been canceled or postponed, which is extremely disadvantageous for international students taking the 2021 entrance examination.Therefore, in order to prevent international students from giving up on going on to higher education, we have established a system to judge Japanese proficiency by conducting university-specific selections in place of the "Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students" and "Japanese Language Proficiency Test".
President Suminori Tokunaga said, "I think that international students have overcome various barriers, worked harder than anyone else, and studied hard in Japan, which is not their home country. Under such circumstances, the examination was taken under the influence of this corona. I thought that it was necessary to put in place an entrance examination system so that I would not give up on going to university. I hope that this decision will help increase the learning opportunities for international students as much as possible. "
The application schedule for the "International Student Designated School Entrance Examination" is from October 2020th to October 10th, 12.Students who have not taken the Japanese qualification test will be interviewed online in advance to judge their Japanese proficiency. The application schedule for the "February Entrance Examination for International Students" is from December 10th to December 30th, 2 (January 2020th and 12th, 10 only at the counter reception).Students who do not take the Japanese qualification test will be evaluated for their Japanese proficiency using a university-specific test.
