How do you put JLPT in UCAS application?

Hey everyone, I've just been wrapping up my UCAS application. I managed to put in every qualification I required, but I did the JLPT N3 at the University of Leicester this July and I received my qualification in September. When I was searching through the different kinds of qualifications which UCAS shows, I realised that I couldn't find the JLPT. Plus, I did not know where I should put it, whether it be in education or extra activates as I did not study for the JLPT at a school and instead self-studied.

If someone could tell me how I should put down my JLPT on my UCAS application, it'd be highly appreciated as all of my choices are for language-related courses.
Thanks :smile:

Here's a tip to help if the JLPT option is not listed in the UCAS application, you can still include your JLPT N3 certification:

1. Go to the "Qualifications" section, click on "Add Qualification" and select "Other" as the qualification type.
2. Enter "JLPT N3" as the qualification name and provide a brief description, such as "Japanese Language Proficiency Test, N3 Level".
3. Enter the date you passed the JLPT N3 exam.

If the above doesn't work, you can do the following in your 'Personal statement'

1. Mention your JLPT N3 certification as part of your language skills and qualifications.
2. Explain how achieving JLPT N3 has helped you develop your Japanese language skills and how it will benefit your studies in the chosen course.

I hope this helps.
