Programs Accepting JLPT N3 (2027)
JLPT N3 is the practical minimum for kenkyusei (research student) admission at most Japanese universities. For English-taught programs, JLPT is not required at all — N3 is "above and beyond." Below are programs accessible to N3-level applicants.

Frequently asked questions
Can I apply to a Japanese-taught Master's with N3?
Generally no for direct Master's. JLPT N3 is enough for kenkyusei (research student) status; you upgrade to N2 during your year as research student, then formally enter Master's.
What about English-taught programs?
English-taught programs require no JLPT. N3 is more than enough.
Can N3 work for a PhD?
English-taught PhD programs (OIST, G30) require no JLPT. Japanese-taught PhD typically requires N1.
