Adult higher education implements academic year management, which is an important factor different from self-taught examination.

Academic certification

If you graduated from adult higher education and obtained a bachelor's degree certificate in adult higher education, rather than the same bachelor's degree as a general education graduate, then Japan still does not recognize your bachelor's degree although it recognizes your study years. This is a fatal problem for people who want to apply for universities.

Self-study education system

Self-taught examination is an open education system, which focuses on promoting learning through examination and self-study.

Distance education mode

According to the Higher Education Law, radio, television and correspondence are the ways of distance education, and self-taught examination, as a basic system, will also actively carry out distance education to provide social assistance.
