Programs often prepare students for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT), university entrance exams, and short-term cultural experiences. They serve as a foundation for students aiming to continue studies at universities, vocational colleges, or pursue careers in Japan.
Similarly, there is another Japanese Language program run as university-based Japanese programs, often run through international departments, provide a campus-based environment with access to facilities and interaction with Japanese students. These programs focus on academic preparation, may include cultural components, and are typically suited for students planning further study or research in Japan.

The April intake is the primary and most popular admission period, with the majority of universities and language schools opening applications.
