JapaneseProgram Description
Students enrolled in undergraduate/graduate programs of partner universities can apply to the Japanese Language Program (JLP).
Japanese-Government (MEXT) Scholarship recipients (Japanese Studies Students) recommended by a Japanese embassy abroad are also accepted into our Japanese Language Program (JLP).
The program offers small size classes in order to improve students' Japanese language abilities effectively and students will be divided into small groups based on their Japanese language proficiency. Additionally, international students of Japanese Language Program (JLP) can take regular undergraduate classes with regular KCUFS students to learn more about Japanese culture and society.

Student Support
JLP Partners
JLP partners provide immediate support and friendship to new JLP students and help them successfully adjust to the new culture and environment in Japan. For each new JLP student, a couple of current KCUFS students become his or her partners. JLP partners begin communicating with new JLP students before their arrival in Japan to help them prepare for what's ahead at KCUFS. The partners continue to be friends, support JLP students in daily and campus life, and offer opportunities to practice Japanese outside classes.
Club Activities
There are a lot of club activities at KCUFS. Joining a club is a great opportunity to come to know KCUFS students better as well as have fun!
