Iｴve tried to find some information about clothing/design schools in Japan from the internet, but Iｴve found just one(Musashiro college&university).

Iｴm dreaming of a studying period in Japan, and the first thing is to find a suitable school. I wonder if thereｴs someone who could help me with this? I have to check if the school is suitable for my education, the costs and so on, but Iｴd really upreciate some internet addresses and so on.

I have been learning the basics of japanese, but Iｴm just a beginner. Thatｴs why I also think, that I canｴt participate in education in japanese language, I wonｴt be good enough after just one year.. ;)

Iｴm thinking, that Iｴd leave propably(and not before) in may 2004. I donｴt know how am I going to arrange eveything needed, such as loads of money, but i have decided that I AM going to go, no matter what it takes :wave:

P.S. One option is also a training period working in some clothing industry etc.in Japan. Iｴm also very interested in some tips around this area..

Here is a link to Osaka Kyoiku University which provides links to hundreds of Japanese educational institutions from several categories. It may or may not be of use to you as some of the links are outdated and most are in Japanese.

:( hi everyone! i am planning to study design in japan, but the websites i found are all in japanese! i have only a very minimum of japanese language ability; and i hope to seek help from you all for the suggestions of recognised design schools in japan in english versions for me... please help me! i desperately need a help for this!! arigatougozaimasu!
Many schools in the field don't have English pages. The most well-known fashion design school in Japan is Bunka Fashion College.

Some more info on this thread, some in English:

If you really want information, I suggest you manage to find the email addresses and mailing addresses of these schools and ask for information in English. Considering the many international students in such schools, I'm pretty sure you can manage (by the time you turn 17 or 18)! :blush:

Hello everyone! My name is Jasmine, and just like Chipi, I'd love to study design in Japan. I noticed this is a really old thread so it made me curious: where did you go to study, Chipi, and how is it (or how was it) ?

Hey there, I actually posted over at the Education thread when I noticed this..

From what I heard, Bunka Fashion College is one of the best but does anyone know what sort of courses they offer? Whether it's a diploma or a degree, and whether we can continue to a degree from a diploma from a different country? Right now, my situation is like this: I'm going to go through a three-year diploma course in my country and after that I plan to go further into a degree, but I don't want to start from scratch. If I could I'd like to continue from where I would be leaving off. Is that possible?

Also, I'd like to find out more about the Ueda College of Fashion? The link doesn't work..

Arigatou gozaimasu!

EDIT: I found a link to it already, gomen~ Can't post it here; don't have enough posts to post a link.. :( It's at ucf.jp

Wow, so cool. I am exactly the same at the moment.:wave:
Graduated form an vocational art school and now aiming for japan in a year and half. Either to work or to go to art school, but also a little bit too unconfident about my language skills and I doubt I'll get into the schools.
So I was wondering if you are still able to recive this message then please let me know how things went for you. Or perhaps you can eaven help me out a little bit with some tips or something. :relief:
