APPLICATION PATHS
From where you are, pick the one route that fits your situation. Inside, the flow, timeline and tools all line up with the school and professor you're heading toward. One spine, branching at the entry and running end to end.
First find which goal you're heading toward, then pick the route in the card that fits your starting point — you land straight on that route's reverse timeline.
Still abroad, getting your footing in Japan: language school, bekka, junior college, KOSEN and high-school routes.
Applying to a Japanese undergraduate program: general entry, transfer, pre-arrival admission, English degrees and returnee tracks.
Pursuing a master's or PhD: research-student to master's, English master's (SGU/G30), doctoral and working-adult programs.
Finding work in Japan: new-grad job hunt, designated-activities extension, mid-career change, work visas and highly-skilled tracks.
Pass-through routes: exchange / agreement dispatch and double degrees — short stays without a settling degree.
