Preparing students for life at the forefront of business – The Tokyo School of Business
An integrated business school with support for university admission, finding employment, or starting a company - Tokyo School of Business
Q1 I’m concerned about the lessons from a language standpoint. What level of Japanese language ability is required?
A･･･ All lessons at this school are conducted in Japanese. So, you will need Japanese ability equivalent to the N2 level of the JLPT. A test at that level will be given upon enrollments, so we encourage you to study hard to make the most of your lessons once you’ve enrolled. Once you have enrolled, there will be classes for Japanese used in business in Japan, such as daily conversation and business writing.
Q2 What sort of facilities / equipment does the school have?
A･･･ The Tokyo School of Business is located in a stylish 9-story building with reflective windows and a 2-floor basement, just seconds from Yoyogi station on the JR Yamanote and Sobu lines and the Toei Oedo subway line. Inside, we have training rooms with the latest Macintosh and Windows computers, a large auditorium, sports facilities, and more.
Q3 I’ve heard that Japanese vocational schools are hectic. What is the lesson schedule like?
A･･･ Monday through Friday are generally lesson days, and students have weekends and holidays off. The class schedule allows for up to 5 class periods per day. However your timetable will vary according to your department, major, and courses. You can work or study independently when you don’t have classes.
