If the application for Japanese universities is successful, Japanese students will report in spring and autumn respectively. Japanese universities have two semesters in a school year, and April to March is a school year. The two semesters of a school year are called prophase and anaphase, with the prophase from April to September and the anaphase from June to March.

Universities usually start in spring, and most international students enter in April. Japanese students should be careful not to enter Japan too early, and it is best to enter Japan three or four days before the start of school. If you want to enter school in April, the application deadline is 10 of the previous year; If you want to enter school in September, the deadline for application is April of that year. Besides, because of language problems, some foreign students have to go to language schools first. Language schools generally have two admission times a year.
