Which EJU sitting is right for me if I want the April MBBS intake in Japan?

If you are aiming for the April MBBS intake in Japan, take the June EJU. Results typically arrive in late July, so you still have time to apply when applications open in September. April applications generally run from September to January. Check the official EJU and university pages for dates.

If you want the April intake for MBBS in Japan, the June EJU is the sitting to aim for. Results are released in late July, so you still have time to apply when applications open in September.

How to Plan Around It

  • April is the main intake, and almost all medical universities admit you then.
  • The autumn intake (September or October) is open at only a few universities and has an application period from February to June.
  • Keep your EJU preparation on schedule so the June sitting does not become a last-minute rush.

My Advice

Work backwards from June. Settle your preparation plan early, and register well ahead of the sitting. Dates and rules can change, so confirm the EJU sitting dates and each university's requirements on the official pages.
