Academic Calendar

 

 

Academic calendar 2024-2025

Tuition at Joshibi starts in April and ends the following January. It is divided into two terms. Exchange students can study for either one term or one academic year. Shorter study periods may be negotiated if requested. Whatever the study period is, they are advised to start their study on the commencement date of the term. Normally, they attend classes from Monday through Friday although some exceptions may exist. No classes are given on Saturdays, Sundays, national holidays, and designated university holidays (including Joshibi Art Festival Week) and during Vacations.

A set of application materials for admission to the spring term should arrive by 15 November and to the autumn term by 15 April.
