1. Application process and conditions for studying in Japan
I. Application Process
1. First of all, decide on your own voluntary school.
Decide according to your interest direction, major, or future career, and then find a school that can study this major, choose the first, second and third choices, and start collecting school information, professional subject introduction, and student enrollment methods.
2. Make a study plan.
For example, if you want to go to college in April, you should make full preparations within this year. So in May at the latest, I will decide my own voluntary university, so that I can prepare my examination direction earlier. I would also like to remind that some universities in Japan with earlier enrollment time need to provide EJU (Japanese International Student Examination) scores according to different disciplines, so they must be carefully confirmed in advance.
3. Prepare for exams in different periods (taking admission in April as an example).
March ~ May: At this stage, we should collect the information of the voluntary schools we want and make a study plan consistent with the compulsory subjects of the school entrance examination. Carefully consider your own advantages and disadvantages, and focus on strengthening or choosing schools that don't take this exam.
On the other hand, students who are confused about the preparation for studying in Japan should first remember the grammar of Level 2 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, and on this basis, strengthen their study of Japanese subjects for studying in Japan. The exam is coming in March. If you prepare carefully in three months, I believe everyone's grades will be greatly improved.
June-September: After the examination for studying abroad in Japan, private universities began to accept applications, especially those who applied for the entrance examination earlier, such as Aoyama University, Gakuen University and Waseda University. The time after studying in Japan in June is very important. Go ahead and prepare for the entrance exam.
10 ~ 165438+ 10: Generally speaking, universities with late registration time pay more attention to165438+10, and there are many schools with late examination dates. Therefore, in the meantime, I suggest you prepare for the Japanese study abroad exam.
1 1 month later: in this period, there is basically only the national college entrance examination, and the result of the entrance examination is also a very important final result. Don't care about the results of the Japanese study abroad exam. After studying in Japan, make good use of this time to prepare for the final entrance exam.
Second, Japan's undergraduate study conditions
1, education
The necessary conditions are that he has received compulsory education in China for more than 12 years, and he is over 18 years old when he enters school.
Colleges and universities are required to obtain 16 or equivalent academic qualifications in China, and be at least 22 years old at the time of admission.
2. Language ability
Language ability is essential in foreign countries. You need to have certain language skills when teaching, communicating and working. Language schools require J-test E-F or above. College admission requires N2 for science and N 1 for liberal arts.
3. Funds
Your tuition, living expenses and other related expenses. A year is about 654.38+million, and a deposit certificate of 200,000 is needed.
Third, you should pay attention to studying in Japan.
1, department/research department and specialty
This is the most important point in choosing a university. What do you want to study in Japan? If this question is not clear from the beginning, it will cause great trouble to the later application. After defining your own direction, you should look for your favorite university departments and disciplines.
2. Tuition and tuition
This is a problem worthy of attention. Judge what kind of university you can enter according to your economic ability. For example, some private universities of science and engineering have to pay more than 2 million yen in the first academic year alone, while some private liberal arts universities have reduced or exempted outstanding students, paying less than 500 thousand yen a year. The proportion, regulations and quantity of scholarships awarded by universities are different, which needs to be carefully understood in advance.
3. Location and transportation of the university
Confirm the location of Japanese universities in advance. The metropolitan area is the center of Japan, with a complex living environment and a lot of information. Local cities are quieter and more comfortable than the metropolitan area, so they can concentrate on their studies and have more contact with regional society. However, convenient transportation is very important in both big cities and places. The contents to be investigated include: where is the nearest station and how long it will take from where you want to live to school.
4. Entrance Examination and Admission Time
Universities and colleges in Japan are basically enrolled in April, and some disciplines are also enrolled in autumn. The entrance examination time of each university is different. Please confirm the registration schedule and examination time in advance. Regarding the entrance examination, some universities only implement it once a year. The sooner the university finishes all the entrance exams in summer.
2. Ways to study in Japan with different academic qualifications
I. Studying in Japan after graduating from high school.
1. Apply for a Japanese language school → take the exam for Japanese foreign students → take the internal exam according to each university → enter a university.
The vast majority of outstanding public and private universities in Japan do not directly enroll students in China, but require students to take the unified examination for international students and the independent entrance examination for schools after going to Japan. Therefore, at present, more than 80% of Japanese students go to Japan through language schools, where they learn Japanese, adapt to Japanese society, prepare for entrance exams, and finally enter their favorite universities in Japan.
2. Apply for G30 department → directly enter the university (suitable for students with good English, because it is taught in English).
Second, go to Japan to study after graduating from junior college.
1. Apply for a Japanese school → merge into a Japanese undergraduate university → apply for a university after graduation.
If you want to apply for a master's degree in Japan, you need to have a formal education in China 16 or an undergraduate degree certificate. Because domestic college students 15 have no degree certificate, they often have to enter Japanese undergraduate universities first, which is the so-called junior college in China. There are also some schools that can accept junior college students for postgraduate study. The specific information of colleges and universities needs to be carefully confirmed, but don't be careless.
2. Apply for Japanese Language School → "Postgraduate" Japanese University College Foundation → Take the University Entrance Examination.
The so-called "graduate students" in Japan are not "masters" in the domestic sense. It's actually just an audit of a university. When you are a graduate student (auditor), you need to contact the professor. If the professor agrees to accept it, it means getting Neno, then studying with the professor for one year, and then taking the college entrance examination. After passing, you can study "Monk", that is, "Master".
Third, go to Japan for postgraduate study after graduation.
1, directly apply for the "postgraduate" preparatory course of Japanese universities in China → take the college entrance examination → enter the university.
This method mainly depends on the school, Japanese and English scores, and research plans. Generally speaking, after one year, you will be admitted to the university.
2. Apply for a Japanese school → take the college entrance examination → enter the university.
Through the transition of language schools, the choice, adaptability and success rate are much higher, which is also the way many students choose.
3. Apply for SGU English teaching program → enter a university to study for students with good English and teach in English. You can choose Japanese courses after entering school, so that you can become a student proficient in Japanese and English.
Fourth, go to Japan to study PhD after graduation.
Japan has world-class universities and a good living environment, and has trained many Nobel Prize winners. Since 1949, 22 Japanese (or Japanese-born people) have won Nobel Prizes in the fields of medicine, biology, chemistry and physics. Public universities in China, in particular, are very popular with Japanese students.
To apply for a doctorate in Japanese, you should pay attention to starting the application in advance, and you need to prepare Japanese and English certificates in advance. In addition, due to the limited number of Japanese professors recruited each year, students are required to have high personal ability and make relevant preparations at least two years in advance.
5. Studying in Japan for the purpose of learning skills
Apply for a Japanese school → enter a Japanese specialized school.
The name of specialized schools actually comes directly from Japanese, among which specialized schools are called "せんもんがっこぅぅ". Compared with universities, specialized schools in Japan mainly aim at training students' theoretical knowledge. In terms of curriculum, junior colleges pay more attention to cultivating practical employment ability and life ability, that is, we say, learning a craft. So if you plan to work in Japan in the future, you can consider a special school.
3. Accommodation methods commonly used by Japanese students
1, student dormitory
Japanese study abroad dormitory is the solution to the accommodation problem. However, Japanese schools don't have dormitories like China. These dormitories are prepared for welcoming new students. Some of them can be used by students through lottery. A student dormitory is usually a room for one person, or a room for two people. Toilets and kitchens are shared, and dormitories are separated. The conditions are good and cheap, but due to the limited quantity, only a few people can get it. If I can get a dormitory for international students in Japan, what do I need to bring to study in Japan? Of course, we are lucky. Especially for those students with poor economic conditions, living in dormitories can save a lot of rent.
2. Student Union
The student union auditorium is specially set up for students. These students will be equipped with all kinds of furniture for daily life. In addition, some administrators stay inside for 24 hours, which is very safe. In addition, many students will provide breakfast and dinner service, which provides great convenience for many students who are not good at cooking. Most importantly, there are not only foreign students but also Japanese students in the student union hall. We can communicate with each other in this big family, which is also very helpful to improve Japanese.
3. International Student Apartment
Like China, Japanese universities also have dormitories for international students, which are specially set up by local governments for international students. Compared with renting a house, the house price of international students is very cheap. However, not everyone can live in the home of international students. Due to the limited places, the government draws lots every year. Although the number of places is limited, let's try it. What if we get it?
Step 4 rent a house
Although it costs a lot to rent a house, there are still many international students who choose to rent a house. On the one hand, due to the limited number of student dormitories in Japan, on the other hand, renting a house outside is relatively free and clean, and the schedule can be adjusted by itself, so it is not necessary to adapt to the living habits of other international students. Need to be reminded that when renting a house in Japan, you should learn to compare three houses, compare the price of each house, the convenience of transportation and the comfort of the house, and then make a comprehensive choice. But if someone rents a house, the price is very cheap.
