Academic Calendar
Academic calendar 2023-2024
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 there may be some exceptions. No classes are given on Saturdays, Sundays, national holidays, and designated university holidays (inclusive of Joshibi Art Festival Week) as well as 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.
