Nagoya International Foreign Language School (名古屋国際外語学院)

Nagoya International Foreign Language School (名古屋国際外語学院) was founded in June 2011 and opened for instruction in April 2012 following notification from the Ministry of Justice as a Japanese educational institution, as recorded in the 5,738th issue of the official gazette on 14 February 2012. The school is based at 30-18 Tatsumi-cho, Minato Ward, Nagoya City.

Study calendars in Tatsumi-cho

Three programme tracks are offered: a two-year course providing 1,600 instructional hours beginning in April, a one-year-nine-month course of 1,400 hours from July, and an eighteen-month course of 1,200 hours from October. These programmes serve international students seeking to progress to Japanese universities, vocational schools, or employment.

The Tatsumi-cho address identifies the main school. A separate teaching location in the same area belongs to the same institution. Use the classroom assignment for the individual group. Learners should also compare the number of teaching hours before their intended application deadline when deciding which intake to join.

A learner targeting further education in Japan can compare the teaching hours before deciding between the spring, summer and autumn entries. Knowing when the next programme assesses applicants helps distinguish time actually available for preparatory Japanese from the total duration of the stay.
