1. Understand the Japan route
Application calendars, examinations and document rules are institution specific. Confirm the teaching language, arrival term and whether screening takes place before or after travel; a scholarship route can have its own parallel process.
2. Prepare and confirm
Check the institution's current deadline and document requirements. Programme rules take precedence over general guidance.
3. Continue to the portal
The Apply button opens the central SIT Connect student portal with studyatjp, studyatjapan.com and the selected programme attached. SIT Connect then confirms the correct official submission route.
