School introduction video

For International Students

The school has established the "Jikei COM International Center" to ensure that international students can spend their school life with peace of mind from the time they enter the school to after graduation. Our dedicated staff will individually consult with each student on matters such as application, visa, tuition, scholarship, etc. before enrollment, as well as on life in Japan during the school year. During the school year, Japanese language preparatory classes, homeroom teachers, and career/debut staff will support students in finding jobs and making their debut.
