Nihon-Ryugaku Awards

The Nihon-Ryugaku Awards are sponsored by the Association for the Promotion of Japanese Language Education (APJLE). The awards began on a smaller scale in August 2012 when APJLE announced the results of a survey conducted among its own language schools regarding recommended universities for exchange students.

Today, over 400 Japanese language schools are invited to participate in the annual survey. Faculty members directly involved with student support from each language school cast their vote online, basing their selections on criteria such as Japanese language education, general education, and research environment and facilities. The top-ranked universities and colleges are announced at the summer APJLE ceremony.
