I am a hold a Master's degree from a Japanese university and never had to take any Japanese test at all to obtain my degree. 

Looks like you didn't have to take an English test, either.

I was enrolled in an "International Course"; however, many other people I knew were not in this course and the only Japanese language requirement for them was to go to six months of intensive Japanese language study. They didn't really have to learn anything, but instead just show up. 

It doesn't sound like a very intensive academic environment.

The six month course was for graduate students. For undergrads there was a year-long course that I think was much the same.

Yeah, hmm, so there were people studying at your "university" who weren't able to understand Japanese? It must make it difficult to follow all those university lectures and seminars. What university was it, "University of Kentucky Fried Chicken"?

By the way, did you know, there are all kinds of "educational institutions" in Japan, like "tea ceremony schools" which only exist so that foreigners can get a student visa to come to Japan? I think the students are mostly "mizushoubai" people from the Phillipines or Thailand, or other Asian countries.

Well, have a nice evening.
