!! Please Be Aware:
In the English Language Based Admissions, the entire process is conducted in English. Having sufficient English language proficiency to take university-level courses in English is a prerequisite (minimum requirements: IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL iBT 79).
No Japanese language proficiency is required at the time of application. However, you must complete the Japanese Language Program (JLP) as part of your graduation requirements once admitted to ICU. This is a part of ICU's commitment to Japanese-English bilingual education. You cannot graduate by only taking courses offered in English.

*NOTE: As a language program to help students acquire English proficiency and critical thinking skills, the English for Liberal Arts Program (ELA) is mainly for those who enroll at ICU through admissions conducted in Japanese (See "ICUの入試について").
Those who do not hold Japanese nationality must have, or obtain, valid residence status in Japan to enroll in ICU. Even if you complete the required entrance procedures after receiving notification of acceptance from ICU, if you fail to obtain valid residence status in Japan, you will not be allowed to enroll in ICU. Even if ICU applies to the Immigration Services Agency of Japan for the Certificate of Eligibility (CoE) on your behalf, ICU assumes no responsibility for the results of the CoE application
