Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
The application takes real work, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] Not Japanese; any nationality of a country with diplomatic relations with Japan. Preference goes to Southwest and Southeast Asia
[ ] A university degree (a master's for the doctoral places) with an academic record score of 2.30 or higher
[ ] Born on or after 2 April 1992, English at CEFR B2 (for example IELTS 5.5) or English-medium study, and a supervisor at Hokkaido who agrees first

2. WHAT TO GET READY
The listing does not say what it needs. When you open their page, write down everything it asks for before you start.

3. DATES
- Closes 15 November 2026, in 24 days.
- Aim to send it by 12 November 2026. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. (our advice)

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
