1st &2nd year: your own country
3rd: Foreign country
4th: final year back in your own country.

You understand it will take at least four years of intense study to be able to speak and read on a university level, right?

it requires serious dedication and practically immersion into the language/country in order to be at a good enough level to take AND pass university courses in japanese, I'd imagine. There are international schools for foreigners, but they focus on you learning japanese and not necisiarily a major. Just like if a Japanese were coming to the United states for University, they're required to pass TOEFL (rudamentary english test) in order to be accepted. This is so that they'll be able to actually function in an all english environment. I don't understand how this can be a suprise to you, I mean, you are going to THEIR country, speaking and understanding their language should be a given.

I studied 4 years to get on about a 3rd grade reading level (440 kanji...give or take). You will need about 4 or 5 times that to think about college level. Japanese was only part of my studies, so if you were study 4 to 6 hours a day, I supposed it is possible.

For a native English speaker it takes at least twice as long, many three times as long to learn Japanese as it does Spanish or French or another western language.

try waseda university. I'm not sure about undergrad if they are assigned to translator but some masteral student i know who studied there were assigned to one and their assigned professor also can speak english.

but most of their class were held in japanese.

undergrad usually have intensive japanese lessons.

some monbusho scholars I know, have really intensive japanese class for a year, I think they study everyday more or less 10 hours of japanese lessons per day and by the end of the year they are expected to reach the JLPT 2 or 1.
