It is highly recommended that applicants will have completed AP/JP3000

6.0 with good standing not only in Japanese but also in
GPA [B (6.0) or above is required]. Applicants must be
recommended by the Selection Committee [one or two students per
institution per year]. This is a very good opportunity to put
your knowledge to practice. We receive a few exchange students
from each university as well.
Students can apply for an exchange program without any prior knowledge of Japanese or with basic knowledge, focusing on language learning and taking courses in English. Please contact York International for further information.
