Hi Maya,

In most cases, the answer is no. Most Japanese universities will not accept transfer students or give credit for previous courses except through specific university partnership agreements.

Unless the university where you began your studies has a dual degree, joint degree, etc., with a specific Japanese university, you're going to be starting from scratch if you enroll in a university in Japan.

Good luck!
