❓ Frequently Asked Questions — Studying in Japan from China

What is the Certificate of Eligibility (CoE)?
Your Japanese university applies to the Immigration Services Agency on your behalf for the CoE. Once issued, you bring it to your local Japanese embassy to collect your student visa.
Do I need Japanese language skills?
Not for English-taught programs. However, Japanese language ability is very helpful for daily life and opens doors to many more programs and part-time jobs.
Can I work part-time in Japan as a student?
Yes — with a Part-Time Work Permit (up to 28 hours/week), available from immigration. This is commonly used to help with living costs.
Are MEXT scholarships available?
Yes — the Japanese Government (MEXT) scholarship is highly prestigious and fully funded. Many private universities also offer international student scholarships.
How does April intake differ from October?
April is the main Japanese academic year start and has far more program options. October intake exists at some universities but is much more limited in choice.
