The Шаблон:Nihongo, more commonly referred to as simply the Examination for Japanese University Admission (EJU), is a standardized test which non-Japanese students hoping to attend undergraduate or graduate university programs in Japan are required to take and pass.
The test assesses language proficiency along with several subject tests. The specific subject tests required vary by university, but as of 2005 included: Japanese as a Foreign Language, Science (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology), Japan and the World (a test of liberal arts reasoning ability), and Mathematics. Applicants choose either the Science or Japan and the World .
Testing locations are distributed across Japan. Additionally, test sites are available in other Asian countries, save for China and Macau. No test sites are located in Europe, Africa, North America, or South America. Applicants to Japanese universities from these regions usually travel to Japan to be examined.
