Application Procedure

Please complete the following procedure by 15th October 2023 for the exchange program of First (Spring) Semester 2024.

※The deadline for uploading all the documents is 15th October 2023.

※ As the university staff will submit these documents to the Immigration Services Agency of Japan, they would like to ask any students who have postponed their exchange to NOT re-use the documents that they submitted previously and to submit entirely new documents.

※ With regards to the "Certificate of Physical Condition", after Kanagawa University has made the decision to accept exchange students in Japan, they will ask each student to take a health examination themselves and submit the form. Submission of this form is therefore not necessary until a student has received notification from us to do so.

Please confirm if you are eligible to participate in the exchange program through the "Information Chart on Application for Exchange Program and Class Registration" below.
