Examination for Japanese University Admission

The Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (日本留学試験, Nihon Ryūgaku Shiken, "Japan Foreign Study Test"), more commonly referred to as simply the Examination for Japanese University Admission (EJU), is a standardized test which non-Japanese students hoping to attend undergraduate or graduate university programs in Japan are required to take and pass.

It was adopted in 2002 as a replacement for both the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) and the General Examination for Foreign Students (the latter is no longer administered).

[1] It became the standard admission test for undergraduate or graduate non-Japanese students who are applying to study in Japan.

The specific subject tests required vary by university, but as of 2005 included: Japanese as a Foreign Language, Science (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology), Japan and the World (a test of liberal arts reasoning ability), and Mathematics.

The test is administered by the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO), an Independent Administrative Institution established under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT).
