Japanese Language Program for Everybody We offer Japanese courses at six (6) levels from beginning to advance. You will learn Japanese you can use in your academic and daily life in Japan. Every international student at Saga University can take any of these courses. If you are a Special Audit Student, you can obtain credits after you successfully have completed a course. Other statuses students can receive a certificate of completion if desired. Japanese Language Program for Undergraduate Students This program is for undergraduate students whose Japanese language levels are intermediate or advanced. However, non-Saga University students may possibly be refused entry into courses depending on language level and/or demand among Saga University undergraduate students. You need to take a Placement Test before each semester if you want to enroll in either of the above programs. http://www.irdc.saga-u.ac.jp/en/foreign/japanese.html (3) Homestay Program We have the Homestay Program every year as below.
