The Japanese language proficiency test is a very well recognized Japanese language certification exam organized by the Japan Educational Exchange and Services and The Japan Foundation. Its abbreviation is JLPT exam which started in the year 1984. The exam in Japanese language is called "Nihongo Nouryoku shaken". The exam takes place once every year. The date and time of the exam is decided by each country individually. If you can learn here about JLPT.............

To get into a Japanese speaking University, yes you do. For even some language schools just to learn Japanese you need a certain level of JLPT or have studied a certain amount of hours of Japanese before you can enroll (example 300 hours of learning time), not all these language schools require prior learning but you would be suprised by the amount of them that do. The same applies to Universities in my home country, you need to have a satisfactory level of English before you can enroll.

There are some (not a huge amount) English teaching Universities in Japan but they are mostly for Postgraduates looking to get their masters or PHD. Not too mention they are very expensive courses to do (for both Undergraduates and Post Graduates)
