1.Introducing Kindai University Japanese Language Course
   The Kindai University Japanese Language Course is a preparatory course that mainly provides
Japanese and English language education to international students who want to enter a
Japanese university (mainly Kindai University undergraduate schools or graduate schools). As
a general rule, students taking the Japanese Language Course are able to use the university’s
library or other facilities for study purposes, like general students of the university. This means
that this course is ideal for international students wishing to use the campus to prepare for the
entrance exams of Kindai University. Students taking the Kindai University Japanese Language
Course work towards passing the Kindai University entrance examination for international
students, which is offered in October and in February of the following year.
