The deadline is about 6 months before the enrollment. You have 2 opportunities to enroll a year. The application period is from the beginning of August to the beginning of November for April intake. For October intake, it is from the beginning of February to the beginning of May .
When can I know the result of the application?
1 month before the enrollment. If it is April intake, we will let you know at the end of February, and if it is October intake, you will know at the end of August.
How much are the living expenses per month to live in Japan?
In general, the rent is around ¥30,000~¥50,000, and the living expenses and food expenses etc. are around ¥30,000~¥40,000. In total, it takes about ¥60,000~¥90,000.
Can I do the admission procedure personally, not through agents?
You can. Please feel free to ask us the details.
Can I get life guidance and academic and career counseling?
We have non-Japanese staff, and some Japanese staff are available in some foreign languages. We all support you so that you can live in Japan without any worries. Also, our experienced teachers do the career counseling. The employees in ARMS Corporation, who have the qualification of the paid employment placement, will do the career counseling (job instruction) after graduating from universities and vocational schools, if necessary.
Do I have to get insurance?
All the students who entered Japan with the residential status "student" need to get insurance. If you get one, you only have to pay 30% of the medical cost at hospitals.
Can I do a part-time job?
Residential status of "student" is not allowed to work. In principle, it is allowed to work within 28 hours/week (8 hours/day during the long vacation obtained by school regulations), only in case Regional Immigration Bureau Officer gives a permission. In addition, there are strict regulations about number of hours and the content of jobs.
In case I drop out of school, is it possible for you to refund the school fees?
The same as in case you change the residential status within half a year after entrance to school.
