Looking for Vocational Colleges in Osaka (Data Science/IT) – JLPT N2, High School Grad

Hi everyone!

I’m currently looking for vocational colleges (専門学校) or junior colleges in Osaka that offer Data Science, AI, or general IT-related programs. I’ve already completed high school and have passed JLPT N2, so I’m comfortable with Japanese-language instruction.

I’m specifically not looking for universities, but rather 2-3 year practical programs where I can gain job-ready skills in data analysis, programming, or AI.

So far, I’ve found a few like HAL Osaka, ECC College of Computer & Multimedia, and Osaka Institute of Technology, but I’d love to hear from people with direct experience or more suggestions.

Questions:

• Any schools you'd recommend for data science/AI in Osaka?
• How is the support for international students at these colleges?
• Any tips on the application process or life as a senmon gakko student?

Thanks so much in advance!
