Does a 2 year secretarial course count as university in Japan?

You will need to have a 4 year degree from an accredited university to count toward any visa, at the very least.

However, if you somehow magically manage to get a visa through another route - it will count as some level of education. (専門学校)


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.

No. University in Japan is always four years. It may count as junior college or technical school, but it's not a degree I've ever heard of being offered in either of those. More likely, it would be considered as senshu gakko or kakushu gakko, which typically aren't accepted as formal education.
