ECC Kokusai College of Foreign Languages Japanese Language Course

The Japanese Language Department of ECC Kokusai College of Foreign Languages is at 1-5-11 Nakazakinishi in Osaka’s Kita Ward. Its admission guidance names the department and gives its own application address. This is useful when locating the Japanese course within a college that teaches several languages. The department offers two distinct ways to attend, with different application documents and purposes.

Short visits and long-term study

The long-term programme is designed for students able to pursue sustained study in Japan. The school describes educational eligibility, an application process and an interview with staff. Its requirements distinguish between completing a school qualification overseas and being recognised by the college as having equivalent preparation. Applicants should use the admission information for their own educational background.

The shorter course is intended for people already able to spend time in Japan, including eligible short-term visitors and residents. ECC explains that this route does not itself include an application for student residence status. Someone who later wants a longer period of study needs to apply for the appropriate long-term course. For a visitor planning a short stay in Osaka, the useful first checks are the application window, the available teaching level and the precise dates for attendance in Nakazakinishi.
