Is it possible to go to school in Japan as a foreigner?

Question

I'm going to be finishing up my Associates Degree in a few more months and I wanted to know if it was possible to move to Japan to finish off my 4 year?

I plan on studying Japanese language, culture, history and art.

If so will I also be able to get work with a student type visa?

Thank you ahead of time

Answer 1

I don't think there is any way to transfer to Japanese college.

You have to start the whole 4 years since the beginning.

If you want to go to a college in Japan, you need to speak and read Japanese at near native level or you cannot follow its classes.

Answer 2

Some possibility remain though, first of all,  you must pass this exam.

That means you must have at least daily life Japanese skill before entering any university  in Japan as transfer student  to study Japanese because in Japan most of all classes have been lectured in Japanese only.

Every university is very difficult to enter but easy to graduate in Japan.

Student visa may allow you upto 28 hours/week to work if the official application is approved.

The Japanese university must apply C.O.E. for you with certain evidence of your creditability/current status in your school to apply your visa to Japanese embassy. The procedure is very strict and not easy.
