Applications for the Graduate School of Foreign Language Education and Research are accepted several times a year. Prospective students are encouraged to contact the admission office (grd-adm@jm.kansai-u.ac.jp) to get information on examination dates, application instructions and application forms. Students are selected for admission based on a paper test and an interview, with greater emphasis placed on the latter. Those with certificates proving their high foreign language proficiency may be exempt from taking the foreign language test.
