Question Exchange at Meiji University

[Alison Heian]

Hi, I'm an undergrad student (studying Physics and Maths) and I'm looking at my options of studying abroad in Japan as an exchange student. My university has relations with Meiji University, and I'm able to apply for an exchange program. The school I would apply to (School of Science and Technology) does not offer classes taught in English, only in Japanese. However, the level required to apply is N4 (while other schools like Arts and Letters require N2) which I have. It makes sense that the level required is lower for the sciences. I have at least a year to up to two years before I'd be going there if I finally am able to, and in the meantime I will most certainly pass N3, maybe N2. But my question is, would I be fine with this level of japanese to actually follow lessons taught in japanese? Thank you.

That may be a good question to ask them directly. My guess is that the university wouldn't use teaching materials in Japanese beyond the ability of the students. Good luck in your application!
