Pre-arrival Admission Approval:
Pre-arrival admission approval is a system that allows applicants to take the entrance examination of a Japanese university or other institution and gain admission while in their home country. In the selection process for international students, Our school（FWU） has set up examination centers in four countries: South Korea, Malaysia (general selection), Vietnam, and Thailand (exchange partner school recommendation selection), and offers pre-arrival admission using the results of the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) conducted by the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) (taken outside Japan). Under this system, applicants can take the EJU and gain admission without coming to Japan.
