6 Benefits of Advancing to a Group School
Choose From 3 Schools
ISI Japanese Language School has 3 Group schools. You can consider your advancement destination according to what you want to study and where. You can choose from Tokyo Business and Language College (TBL), Nagano Business and Language College (NBL), and Beijing Language and Culture University Tokyo Campus (BLCU).
Earn a Specialist or Bachelor's Degree
Graduating from TBL or NBL earns you the title of Specialist (Senmonshi). In addition to job placement after graduation, transferring into a university is also possible. At BLCU, you earn a qualification equivalent to a Chinese university degree, and since it is a "Foreign University Japan Campus Designated by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology," you also gain eligibility for admission to Japanese graduate schools.
Conditional Internal Advancement System
For students who wish to advance to a WEWORLD Group school but have not yet reached the Japanese language level required for admission, ISI Japanese Language School allows conditional admission to Group schools after studying for a set period at ISI. (Certain conditions apply, such as an admission interview.)
Application Benefits Exclusive to ISI Students
We offer a special tuition exemption program for current ISI students. In addition, there are tuition exemption and scholarship programs based on attendance rate and Japanese/English language ability, and the appealing feature is that these can be combined. *Details vary by academic year and school.
Get a Concrete Picture of Life After Advancing
Since Ikebukuro Campus shares the same building as TBL, and Nagano Campus shares the same building as NBL, there are many opportunities to interact with senior students, making it easy to picture what life will be like after advancing. In addition, students at Takadanobaba Campus and Kyoto Campus also have opportunities such as information sessions and open campus events for advancing to Group schools, where questions and concerns can be resolved.
Support with Application Document Preparation and Visa Renewal
When advancing to a WEWORLD Group school, there is no need to prepare many new application documents. The process from application through admission is also clear. From enrolling at ISI Japanese Language School through advancing to a Group school, we provide comprehensive support, including renewal of your study-abroad visa period.
