3. Tuition fee (500,000 to 1 million yen)

Let’s do some research in advance about schools that you have interests.

〇 About the admission on recommendation

Japan has a style of entrance examination called “admission on recommendation”.
In simple words, this exam is available for students who are referred by NILS to universities and/or vocational schools as excellent students.
There are some conditions and terms in order to determine as a good student, but you will be fine if you study hard for Japanese tests at NILS.

Some school offers lower tuition fees if you get a recommendation.
Keep in mind to follow Japanese regulation and NILS’s rules not to miss your recommendation!

NILS is providing you with twelve preparatory classes like this.
At the next class, we will explain some words/vocabulary to you that are often used in the process of entering universities and vocational schools.
Don’t miss it!
