Support for international students' studies, careers, and daily life.
A safe and secure environment for learning Japanese.
Teikyo University has established curricula, facilities, and systems to enhance the effectiveness of learning Japanese at the university.
Center for Japanese language Education
Center for Japanese language Education on Hachioji Campus is a reliable learning support center that fosters international students' ability to learn in Japanese. In a calm, tea-room-style setting, students can receive detailed support tailored to their needs, including conversation practice, report guidance, and JLPT preparation. Learning consultations are also available with faculty members specializing in Japanese language education, allowing students to receive precise advice according to their individual levels and goals. Furthermore, Ouchi Concierges (Japanese students selected from those enrolled in the Japanese Language Teacher Training Program, etc.) support Japanese language classes and daily studies, creating a conducive learning environment. The center also boasts a rich collection of teaching materials and books, allowing students to deepen their understanding not only of Japanese but also of Japanese culture. We provide comprehensive support for Japanese language education and learning to enrich your learning experience after enrollment.
We offer a step-by-step, practical curriculum designed to build a strong foundation in academic Japanese. Students comprehensively learn the four essential skills of Japanese language: reading, listening, writing, and presentation, which are crucial for specialized education. From 3rd year onwards, students can study more advanced skills tailored to their specific goals and needs. We also offer specialized Japanese language courses for students hoping to pursue Graduate School studies or find employment in Japan.
General education subject “Introduction to Japan”
To live in Japan and study alongside Japanese students, you will learn about the overview of Japanese society and economy, as well as Japan's position in the world. You will examine Japan's geography, population trends, basic characteristics of its politics, economy, finance, and industry, as well as historical events, from a reciprocal perspective of Japan and the world. We will think together, comparing this with the knowledge and perspectives on history, geography, and society that you have learned in your home country or region.

President Cup Japanese Presentation Contest
We hold a contest with the aim of providing an opportunity for international students to present the results of their Japanese language learning and to deepen intercultural understanding through collaborative learning between international and Japanese students. International students are paired with Japanese student supporters, and the international students present the results of their approximately two-month preparation.
Encouragement of obtaining Japanese language qualifications
To encourage international students to obtain Japanese language qualifications, we have introduced a support system that provides reimbursement equivalent to the examination fee to those who pass the "Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) [N1]" and the "BJT Business Japanese Proficiency Test [J2 or higher]". In addition, we grant credits for eligible subjects based on the achievement of obtaining the target qualifications and the scores of the examinations. We also offer courses that provide practice problems and conduct and explain mock exams aimed at passing the "Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) [N1]" and the "BJT Business Japanese Proficiency Test 530 points or higher [J1]".
Career support
Teikyo University International Student Employment Skills Development Program
This program provides high-quality educational programs aimed at helping international students systematically build their careers and facilitate their employment at Japanese companies. Based on four pillars—Japanese language education, career education, internships, and job placement support—the program is certified by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's "International Student Employment Promotion Education Program Certification System." Upon completion of the program, students receive a certificate from the university. Presenting this certificate to companies during job hunting allows students to demonstrate their employability.
Career support courses
This program is designed for international students considering a career in the private sector in Japan. It provides information and guidance on career paths and deepens understanding of the Japanese job market. Students learn systematically and progressively, covering everything from resume writing and interview preparation to visa applications. In later years, courses are offered specifically designed to help students acquire the skills necessary for employment in Japan. Career design, university life planning, and a natural progression towards a job search in Japan can all begin from the first year, allowing students to confidently prepare for their future.
Support for career development and job hunting in Japan
Unlike in other countries, job hunting in Japan begins while students are still enrolled in university. Each campus's Career Support Center offers a variety of programs to support international students in their career development and job hunting in Japan. These include guidance sessions, group interviews, and individual consultations with career advisors specializing in international students.
At this university, we manage the enrollment of foreign students in accordance with Article 19-17 of the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act.
