Application

How to apply to study in Japan

Move from search to a traceable application without losing your selected programme or source.

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.
