Why study in Japan?
1. Once you have
completed your courses and achieved a good JLPT score (JLPT N2
should be your target), you will be in a good situation to seek a position at a
Japanese company. Should you decide to stay in Japan, a lot of opportunities
will unfold. The Japanese job market is a very dynamic one and the Japanese economy
is the third in the world. Last but not least, you can expect high incomes in Japanese companies.
2. Make the most of an
excellent education system – and tuition fees that are quite lower than other developed countries.

have you ready for even the most competitive job

enroll in a university and obtain a highly respected degree, should you decide
to do so.

government is more than ever willing to open up to increased immigration. Now is the right time to come to Japan!

skills will be very highly-considered by potential employers, be it in your
country or anywhere else in the world. The Japanese language will surely open many doors!

Japanese language much faster if you stay in
Japan rather than simply studying it abroad. It is usually believed that it
takes 6 months (with hard work) to 1 year of Japanese class in Japan to achieve
a Level 2 JLPT score, whereas it would take much longer
(likely years) if you were staying in abroad.
6. Enjoy a peaceful life. Japan is one of the safest developed countries in the world. Walk
in the middle of the night in a deserted street with no fear. Even if you forget your wallet at a
bar, there is a very good chance it will remain there until you pick
it up!

that fast from fellow students.

work up to 28 hours per week in Japan. And actually, 75% choose to do
so. Finding part-time jobs (arubaito) is relatively easy. There are a
