Education in Japan

[Ponpon]

Hi, i'm currently studying fashion and i want to keep on studying after this school in the same sector, are people from outside of japan able to study in japan?? or do you have to be fluent in Japanese (i am studying Japanese very hard aswell but i doubt i will be fluent in three years... )

At the risk of sounding a little harsh, seriously... what do you think?

I would imagine all lessons would be taught in japanese, so you would need to be pretty fluent in all forms of the language

There is a special test for university admissions for foreigners aiming to study in Japan through direct admissions (rather than exchange programs).

Yeah i guessed so, i thought maybe there was an international art school or something, because my english is fine so that could work.

Hopefully in a few years of visiting Japan and learning the language i will be able to take the test i have absolutely no idea how long it takes to learn it for me to be able to pass such a test =|
