Ask about requirements & costs →Waseda Preps' main campus is in Komagome, Kita-ku, Tokyo, with a second campus in Koenji, Suginami-ku. Three university-prep programs are offered: starting April (2 years), July (1 year 9 months), or October (1 year 6 months), open to students with JLPT N5/CEFR A1, or at least 150 hours of prior Japanese study for the April/July intakes and 450 hours for the October intake.
The curriculum builds academic readiness — writing reports, giving presentations, and holding discussions in Japanese — alongside everyday language skills for engaging with Japanese society, preparing students to continue on to university or graduate school in Japan.

After graduating from language school—or earlier if you already meet the qualifications—you can progress to university, vocational school (senmon gakko), or full-time work in Japan.
