Hiroshima International and Medical Welfare College

Hiroshima International and Medical Welfare College teaches Japanese in Hijiyamahonmachi, in the city’s Minami ward. Students may also encounter the college’s former IWAD name when searching for it. The present campus is straightforward to locate by public transport. From Hiroshima Station, the route described by the school association is the tram towards Hiroshima Port via Hijiyamashita. The college stands opposite the Hijiyamabashi stop.

Academic Japanese

The Japanese department offers two courses for learners intending to continue their education in Japan. The longer route runs over two academic years, while the shorter lasts a year and a half. Both contain sustained classroom study. For a student planning around the Japanese academic calendar, the choice affects both the month of arrival and the amount of language preparation available before further study. The published pattern is April entry for two years and October for eighteen months.

Campus setting

The college also teaches professional subjects including physical and occupational therapy. Students interested in those fields can investigate their entry routes alongside the Japanese programme. A language applicant should ask for the Japanese intake requirements specifically and use the Minami-ku address when arranging a campus visit.
